Wilwood brake pads are the result of a never ending development process that dates back to the company's origin in 1977. The goal has always been to provide the highest level of performance for all categories of competition and performance driving.

For nearly three decades, Wilwood has been deeply involved in all types of motor sports. This involvement includes more than just hands-on experience from expert design and development engineers.

 

The Wilwood development team includes manufacturing specialists, field trained technical application staff, and a broad structured network of championship car builders, parts distributors, crew chiefs, and race teams just like you. Their involvement and expertise have played an integral role in the development and production of Wilwood brake pads. This network can be found at work and competing at tracks around the world on any given weekend.


Over the years, Wilwood has developed an extensive information base that has fueled development of the world's broadest based line of high performance disc brake products. Throughout this time, facts and data, not casual observation and opinion, have drawn conclusions that neither a single pad compound or compound type can effectively satisfy all drivers in all conditions. To meet the requirements of such a broad range of racing and sport driving applications, Wilwood has developed a highly diversified selection of compounds and pads. The available selections provide incremental changes in friction values, temperature operating range, as well as other characteristics, that are capable of satisfying the stopping requirements of nearly any motor sport application. Proof is evident in the wide spread use of the PolyMatrix family of compounds and several other specialized application materials.
