Be careful about those graphs as you can drive yourself crazy with information overload on things like initial bite , coefficient of friction etc . Just call Wilwood ( if that`s who you go with ) and tell them type of driving , car weight , rotor material etc and ask for a pad recommendation . I use Hawk pads for the street , called them and used what they recommended . In my experience , stay away from racing pads for the street . Racing pads generally need a higher temp to really come into their own and are more aggressive on the rotors . On mine , it takes about one lap for the pads and rotors to really start working . On the Hawk street pads , they work from the beginning with ok pedal pressure on the street .
