Default Wilwood BBK Setup

Well as stated ECS is keeping measurments of Wilwood pad life across different RR events.

I am running Wilwood SL6 fronts and SL4 rears with GT Rotors and ECS spindle ducts and DRM air extentions.

The pad started out at .64 and after running limerock 1 day it was down to .62.

We then ran WGI for 2 days and Pocono for 1 more day. The pad is now down to .58.

They hardly looked used and the braking is still fantastic.

I have 10 more track days and if I can get almost a full year out of them I will be very happy.
