Wilwood Brake Pads?
Now then, I have come to the conclusion that the squeal from my Wilwoods with 1144's is down to them not getting hot enough, therefore not being
efficient...
I would like something like Ferodo 25000 to suit my (slow) driving style and I'll keep the Mintex's for any track days I might do..
Any advise??

On what car? For a lightweight car, i would suggest a soft pad (Race or track day pads), but for heavier cars a harder pad???
Trouble is, the harder tha pad, the quicker youl wear down the disc.
When i finally get around to refurbishing the braking system on mine, im going to put soft pads all round. I dont mind changing pads every 6m, as
long as the efficiency is there - which it isnt currently.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

keep taking the pills Jim.
Savile was a hospital porter at Broadmoor Hospital and became a semi-professional sportsman, competing in the 1951 Tour of Britain cycle race and
working as a professional wrestler. He has said
"If you look at the athletics of it, I've done over 300 professional bike races, 212 marathons and 107 pro fights." He proudly
announces that he lost 35 of his first 35 fights. "No wrestler wanted to go back home and say a long-haired disc jockey had put him down. So
from start to finish I got a good hiding. I've broken every bone in my body. I loved it.

Ive got good experience from running Wilwoods 'Poly-A' pads on a lightweight BEC w Dynalite calipers at the front and Powerlite at the
rear. Works very well on track, nice bite, works good from cold and are reasonably quiet on the street. I like them better than Ferodo DS2500 that I
used before.
