[Shotimes] Wilwood Caliper Brake Pads

[Ron Porter]

I have a "dumb" question. I believe I understand what Torque means when it's
used in relation to brake pads, but how do you define it? I've seen the
Torque specs for PF pads on one of the racer sites, and wondered exactly
what they meant.

FWIW, I think it's the "grab" factor (for lack of a better term) when you
lay on the pedal.

Ron Porter (considering some track-only pads for the Convention. The car may
be slow, but it will stop well!!)

    I dunno but they turn the rotors into lightweight "shims"  :o)  They
wear down the rotors like crazy, very abrasive.

I need to try a less aggressive pad for the street (not that I drive the
thing much).
