[Shotimes] Wilwood Caliper Brake Pads

[Mark Nunnally]

There is probably a formula for x amount of pressure over a given surface
area of material, on a given distance from the rotor centerline they come up
with for torque.  Mechanically it's just like real torque, the farther away
from the centerline the more torque you can potentially generate, (factoring
in pad compound, surface area, etc.)  Somebody a lot smarter than me could
probably explain it.

I, like you, call it the "grab" factor.  If it feels good and stops hard, it
works for me!
