Hey guys,

I'm looking to get a set of new pads for my front Wilwood Dynalites. I have the Chikara/Maruha carrier with a 10.6 sport rotors. How do I purchase the correct pads? Do I have to order them for the Dynalite AND proper thickness? They came with a set of two when I got them so I haven't had to buy any until now. A few days with no response from Chikara. Looking to get DTC-30's. If anyone knows the part number, or can let me know how to look it up, appreciate it.

Yes, I know I should have used the TSE kit in the first place.

thanks.

HB100W.480
sorry about the reading comprehension failure. HB100 is the "Outlaw" shape, "W" is the compound, and .480 is the pad thickness in inches.

FYI, that pad will die a fiery death, quickly on the track. I recommend you get DTC-60s for the track. They are good on the street too, but I have no clue how long they will last on the street.

Is there only one specification in terms of sizing/thickness that is available? If that is the case, are the TSE rotors going to be the same thickness as my sports?

Why will they die a fiery death? I've used HT-10 and they weren't an issue, aren't the DTC-30's a step up?

Thanks for the info.

Measure your rotor thickness and let us know. The options are .480 and HUGE so I seriously doubt it's the larger size.

Old school HT-10 was a different compound that should not be compared to the DTC pads. I ran the 30's and they lasted one day, the 60's last much much much longer and I prefer the increased friction. When I had the Corrado brakes I was getting ~3 days on a set of 60s, one day on 30's and severely overheating the pad.

The old HT-10 and Blues were strange compounds. The pedal felt like ----, ate rotors, released like ----, had strange ramp, but they couldn't overheat to the point of losing friction. These DTC pads are much different and seem to do everything better. I have never overheated the 60's. I wouldn't say the new compound is delicate, but asking DTC-30 "dirt track" or "SM" pads to handle a heavier Miata with double the power probably won't work for you. Hell, try it and see, the pads are only $50. If you want to buy a set of DTC-60's "just in case" and end up not needing them, I'll buy them from you, unused, for $70 shipped.

I think I'll take your advice and just get the 60's. I also share the same opinion about the HT-10, but due to lack of experimenting with other pads, I don't know much better myself.

Good choice, the only people who disagree with me are certainly closet lady-boys. No virile male would track a turbo Miata on 30's.

I've been here long enough to realize that you've blown enough money to get the right answers for the rest of us ladies.

Any guess on what I should use in the rears if I run the DTC-60 up front? It doesn't look like the DTC-60 is available for sport rear calipers.

PFC 01 or 97 I guess? I have significantly higher rear caliper temps than the front brakes, I assume the pad temps are higher too.

Another vote for the DTC-60's. I use them F+R on my Goodwin V4 setup. With proper (forced) cooling on the front I get only <1/16" of wear during a day.
