My experience with Wilwood brake pads has been terrible for any kind of street use. They are very noisy. I would only use them for track use, they are embarassing at street temps and have a very bad low speed moan. I have tried T,Q and, E compounds and all are noisy.
I have gone to EBC Greens for my Wilwood calipers for street and light track use. They are working decent so far and it has been about 4-5 months now. Autoxed it once hard and still no pad buildup usually associated with EBC greens when they overheat so my rotor temps are in a good range for using them.
As a side note- I had nothing but problems running EBC green pads on my 10.5" system because they just got to hot and left excessive pad buildup in no time. This gives the brakes a warped feeling.

I have Wilwood Q pads on my c4hd front setup and they have been fine on the street. No noise that I noticed. They definately stop better with a little heat in them, though.
Anyone know a good low temp pad? I drive like an old lady most of the time and my brakes never get that hot.
