The Wilwoods will dissipate heat faster.

Is that because the smaller pad generated less heat?

Theoretically the pad will not generate more heat as compared to a larger pad plus more exposed rotor surface area will carry the heat away from the pad surface. Originally Posted by andrewb70

I wonder if there is a calculation for stopping distance/time changeMrQuick ΜΟΛ'ΩΝ ΛΑΒ'Ε

Is this because of the difference in the unit loading? Originally Posted by MrQuick
