Wilwood fronts and stock rears - what rear pads?
I usually get about 6 track days on my XP10s on stock C5Z rear. But since I switched fronts to the Wilwoods, after 6 days, they are less than a 1/4 used. Time for XP12s for rears or maybe the Wilwood "H"s like I have on the fronts?
What are you using on the rears?
TIA.

Try the Wilwood Hs in the rear. I used to use that combo on my C5Z.

Just switched to Hs in the rear (ran them in the front for years). Very pleased.

I also used the Wilwood H pads with stock rear calipers. They are much cheaper than the Carboteks, and last longer. The F/R balance was fine. Recommend them.

I'm running a Wilwood 14.25" BBk in front with the stock C5 calipers on the back and have run the WW H pads on the front and ST47 on the rear and that worked fine. Now I'm running WW H front and rear. Way better in terms of wear and stopping when compared to the Carbotech pads I ran prior.

For OE rear pads the H compound is the only Wilwood offering for track pads.
