VW Fox.
1988 is what I'm using. Slight grinding required. 50% bigger than stock.

My understanding after tons and tons of research is that the only thing you get is more pad material with a larger size pad. Friction coefficient doesn't really go up. If it does then you have heat shedding issues.
How has this pad/caliper package worked out for you with regard to heat, fade, and feel? |

If it does then you have heat shedding issues. How has this pad/caliper package worked out for you with regard to heat, fade, and feel? I run Porterfield R4 pads on the Fox calipers in the front and on the stock rears. The stopping power is better than ever. It could use some more rear bias. I still run the stock prop valve so a tee or using another set of Fox fronts as rears with a lesser pad compound should help. These do not fade. I have cool air ducting and run Motul brake fluid. Calipers do not get above 300°. Also, the fact that only the inboard pads contribute to caliper heat soak is nice. Plus the piston bore is in the air stream instead of within the confines of the wheel shell. It's a nice set-up. KT |
