Dynapro Radial Big Brake Front Brake Kit (Race) comes with high-temperature pad (BP30) and Spec-37 Iron rotor. I am wondering if standard pad (BP10) could be used together with this spec-37 iron rotor. Do you have any idea?

click on your own link, click on the " Brake Pad Plate: " link .... and there will be a list of avail pads that work for that setup

Evil what made you choose the four piston over the six? Also are you noticing any bedding issues using the bp20 or bp30 pads over the bp10 due to the higher temps needed to bed them in? They look great on your vehicle and yes I agreee they are brake dust city.

Kevin no I don’t use any spacer. My wheel offset is 0.38 they clear fine in the 16in size wheel. Sorry for the length of time between my posts.

-I am too poor for 6
-there have been reports of SOME wheels (15 inch) that do not clear 6, even though Wilwood says 15s should clear, some simply do not clear
-no bedding issues, I just drove it hard as heck and got temps up as much as I could w/o endangering myself/my surroundings
-ty for the kind words

how are the race shoes different from stock ?

bjosuesr 02-16-2019 08:30 AM

The only thing I know of is the compound used has a more aggressive bite for the race pads and the temp needed for the correct use is higher

A worthy upgrade! Excited to not have to watch the stock calipers get rusty.

Man, I've already given up lol. Kit is way overpriced, HRV rear beam is too different to swap components. Only thing I've been thinking is maybe the spoon rear adjusting plates that give you a mounting bracket and piecing it togeher from there.

Nice..... thanks for the info!!

I've been trying to search all your threads but I can't seem to find it... what size rotors are you running? The only 4 piston Wilwood kit I can find is the one on Axion's GK5 page, with the 11.6" rotors.

Is it that one?

looks like sulayman has discovered that fast brakes has a kit, so one can add rear disc brakes. if I am reading this "kit" correctly, you can choose your own caliper .... which should in theory include wilwoods ....

Wilwood 6 piston setup
 
Just purchased the 6 piston calipers. Does anybody know if I need new stainless brake lines? Cheers!
