Brake pads?

[Kerry Foote]

Just looking for some opinions. On a spridget when you have 4 wheel dics brakes do you run the same compound front and rear or mix it up?

Anybody? :shock: Is it that big a secret. We aren't Nascar. Give it up.

Kerry, I ran the Hawk Blue on the fronts. When I changed to rear discs with Wilwood calipers (the little 2 X 2 inch ones) they were Hawk Black. Never had any heat problem with them but it was suggested to change to Blue (more heat resistance) just in case, so I did. Winner's Circle used to have the best price- they said that they were the importer. Joel

On a disc drum LPHP spridget, I ran blues in the front for awhile and then switched to porterfield R4s. They were better than the blues & then they were awesome when I added cooling cans to the rotors (thanks spridgetech!). Neck snapping easy to modulate braking. they got better the hotter they got (and I think I overheated them without cooling). This was 10 years ago, there may be some better compounds out there these days.

I initially ran Hawk Blue on the front and Black on the rear. I now run Blue front and rear.

Thanks everybody. Ron do you still need that JE piston?
