Lets Talk Brake Kits

Car will make around 500rwhp when all said and done, car has a few lightened pieces, but is still likely going to be heavy. Would the BP 20 pad be a good compromise (street/track) considering the power/weight of the car? That was the recommendation of Wilwood.

The BP-20 will probably work ok. It is advertised to over 900 degrees. They might be a bit soft the first stop or two in the morning. My BP-10's were soft until they got a tiny bit of heat into them. I'm sure the 20's will be worse. I also don't know about noise. The BP-10's are quiet and moderatley dusty.

I would run the biggest rotor possible. Something like a 14"x1.25" in order to keep temperature out of the pads. With this combo I'd say there is a pretty decent chance you can run street pads on the road course.



What caliper are you thinking about, the SLR6? I ran the 4 piston version, the FSL. I liked them alot. Another option would be to run one of their big calipers like the W6A which will keep heat out of the pads even better.

I would still take a look at the CTS-V brakes though. They really aren't that costly. And they work really well on the 4200lb, 556HP CTS-V.
