[DeTomaso] Fw: Wilwood Pads

[Will Demelo]

They don't make the BP-10's for my Grand Nationals (F) and Superlites (R) 
anymore so I have to go with the BP-20's. I priced Porterfields and they are 
50% more $.

BP
pads under extreme use), but that they make enormous amounts of noise
and dust, and he strongly urged me to stick with the BP line.

I run the Polymatrix B compound which is better even when it is stone
cold.  It does squeal, though.  Of course, I run out of tire (Euro TA)
long before I run out of brake.

I don't know anything about the BP line, but from the CF curves, I would
think that BP-10 would be better suited for the street than the BP-20.
It is better cold.  BP-20 would be better when the brakes hit 800
degrees, but if you are hitting 800 on the street ...
