Well I just got past the 10k mark on my Wilwood (NDL) that i got from Todd at TCE and other than some original install problems (mostly me ) they have been great.

I pulled the rims off last week to clean them (old OEM pad dust) and took the opertunity to check the Wilwoods and to my supprise the pads have a ton of materal left, also both the pads inside and outside were worn almost perfectly the same amount. It always got me pissed with every oem setup i have ever used the inside pad is tearing up the roter before the outside one is even starting.

FYI: OEM lasted me for 35k. From what the willwood site states I can run the pads to almost nothing (not that I will) so I should be good for 50K+++ !!! With the type of driving I do that will be amazing!!

Figure next week I will replace the rears will a much more agresssive pad and new roters. If only I could do the TCE rear upgrade . It would very nice and even out the breaking (front / back) but I think new rear pads should be fine.

The only thing i noticed odd was that there is almost no room between that caliper and the pad, no more than a sheet of paper! Is this normal?

Did a little auto X last week and I am one happy camper

Excess space between the pad and rotor or pad and caliper = more pedal travel. If there's no drag forget it.

Mileage is only data, not all applications are the same so "your mileage may vary"...!
