Thats great to hear Will, I will be in the market very soon for some product for my Z24 but I just need the government to send my UI checks.

Williams is awesome,
They custom made front solo II pads for my Honda Insight.

Now I need to wear out my OEM pads some more before I switch.
75,000 km, 4 lapping days and a dozen auto-x races and my 4 year old pads are still at 70 % thanks to regenerative braking technology.....

[JoeT]

Fantastic group of guys, so what if he's folically challenged. Rolling stone gathers no moss, or is that a girl in every port, or a port in every girl.. Nevermind.

Great Brake Pads! :D

[gatherer]

Great News to Hear.....

[Marsh]

Great pads indeed! They've performed beyond my expectations in everything so far. 3 of us decided to risk it at Cayuga with Solo-2 pads and they did OK. They dusted out, but you could still get several laps out of them before fade was an issue. In my case fluid was an issue long before the pads were (stupid rusted bleed screw :mad: ).

[Martini Focus]

Great news, I can say with complete confidence that my new pads won't let me down.

Now the rest of the car that's another story.:rolleyes:

[eddie 82]

I'm with the masses, Williams pads are the shizzy!

You can't beat the street/autox performance for the price. I haven't hit an end cone since installing my WPFS2s! *knock wood*

[Doug Phillips]

I asked Williams for pad advise for the WOSCA lapping day. I have been using the S2 pad for a year, up to now Solo 2 and street only.

They advised that my S2 pads would likely begin to fade after 5-6 laps, requiring a cool of of 30 minutes. The other consideration was that they advised these pads would likely be used up in a day requiring new pads.

I thought about swapping to the F1.05 pad to allow limited street use (changing at home) but decided to start the WOSCA lapping day at TMP with the S2 pads swapping to my old stock pads to get home.

I was very happy with what I found at the track. The pads worked well althought they did start fading after 5 laps as advised. Not bad for a 3,600 lb car. I found that I could stay on the track and back off slightly (98%, a couple of seconds on a 85-90 second course) to contine lapping with no issues.

I kept an eye on the pads expecting them to be gone in the day. I estimate I still have 1/2 my pads left, great! Lots of brake dust, everything is black.

If I were to put the effort into changing pads at the track I would swap to a full race pad to be able to stay out longer at 100% otherwise the S2 pad was great.:D

Of course, when you come into the stop box that slow, you could probably use plywood for pads and not worry about the end cone.

Ouch thats harsh :eek:
It could also be the fact that the new CNAC rules call for a 21m stop box.


Thou their brakes work quite well.

I want to thank everyone in the Solo2 racing community for their input.You guys have really embraced our company and product and I will do the same for your series. I thank you very much and please keep the input on our product good or bad comming,It's the only way we can improve our service and our products.Thanks

William

[Keith-02Accord]

This may have been asked already, but do you guys make brake shoes as well?

Thanks.

[wpfri]

I am sorry Keith we do not.

[Keith-02Accord]

No probs!

[tanney]

Keith, if your shoes are the same as the civic, I have a spare set that I probably won't need anymore as I have only one car with drums at this point (instead of three)

[Keith-02Accord]

Wes,

I suppose its possible they are the same size. But I'm looking for performance shoes :)

[wpfri]

Keith I sold Satisified Brakes a formula and it's got lot's of brass in it which is good for fade and this formula is a 4.0 which is a high friction rate for rear shoes.You can find this at Canadian Tire under the Monroe brand or the Certified brand.Look at the shoe material and if you see lots of Brass Chips,that's the one you want. Hope this helps. William

[Keith-02Accord]

Thanks for the info William!

[wpfri]

I was at the solo2 event today at Square1 and what an amazing turnout.Even the Peel Region boys got in on the action with their lights flashing going through the cones.

I want to thank Finboy for bringing to my attention the event.I will be in discussion about sponsorship for these events in the future.

Thanks again to all the Solo community support and keep the product and service feedback comming.See you at the Airfield next weekend.

William:

Not sure if they handed out the trophy officially , although it was on display in the timing area all day.
I didnt catch all of the awards ceremonies at the end.
Dont know if they are going to have Stephen Tongs name put on it first,
(he won overall), but Darryl D. or Dave Taira would be the guys to follow up with.
