Brake Pads

[kinglenario]

i'm looking for brake pads for my superformance spf 1738 wilwood brakes. Is there a cross reference part number so that i can buy pads at a local parts store?

thanks,

colin

Colin,
It would be rare for the corner parts store to carry a Wilwood pad, but you might get lucky if they have a local stock car track or they have been requested to stock them. However you can get them from Summit and Jegs at a good price.
For cross reference, the Wilwood pad type #s are:

7112 for the 4 piston Dynalite with cotter pins
7420 for the 4 piston Superlite

I recommend the "E" OR "BP-20" compounds:
for the Dynalite
"BP-20" padset part# is 150-9413K
"E" padset part# is 15E-6096K
for the Superlite
"BP-20" padset part# is 150-9416K
"E" padset part# is 15E-6084K

I hope this helps
Jason

Hey, thanks for the info!

i'm not sure what model wilwood calipers i have. shouldn't i be able to tell by the year build of my superformance (2002)? also, are these the same size pads front and back?

Thanks!

My 2000 SPF uses the Dynalite all around. I got the Wil-150-9413K, which is the BP-20 compount, from Jeg's. For track use, I put these on the front and leave the stock tan ones on the rear. They work great. The fronts will dust your wheels pretty good, but just for track use, they're perfect. They'll pull your eyeballs out of the front of your head!
I also rerouted the cooling ducts to hit the front brakes. And replace the brake fluid to Mogul 600.
For street use, the stock tan pads all around are fine.
