Wilwwod Poly Bs...

are the ticket! While noisier than either the bp10 or bp20s, they bite waaay faster and posses a feel the other two cannot match. Great pads.

Todd, these barely touched the rotors during a day at LRP yesterday - meaning, not lots, if any, aggressive wear. I drove home on these too, against your suggestion. Their cold stopping torque is crazy good for a pad like this, but wow do they squeal in stop and go I know, these are not meant for anything but track work. But I had to try. Really, great pads!!! I've not tried the other pads, but these scrub off speed as expected with feel that is just awsome. No spongyness, no vagueness, just instant on-off torque that is inspiring as they heat up. A very confident pad!

Totally agree - B's are the ticket for track work and fast autocross. Way, way better performance than BP-10's or 20's and don't eat your rotors like A's!

glad to hear good feedback on the Bs... im running As, and although they don't fade... they are dreadful in dust, terrible noise, eats through my rotors, and kills my paint! also, stops wayyy too well for our little cars... i'd say from the sound of things B is probably the better pad

Yes, because they stopped as expected and in a very linear way too.
