[Tigers] Brakes

[Ron Fraser]

IMO the stock disc brakes on the Tiger are fine.   Its the pads that
sometimes leave a lot to be desired.  I now have some Hawke HPS pads on the
Tiger and they are very nice.
 
Heat is the biggest problem for the brake system.   Brake pads all have a
max temperature they can endure before they start to turn white.
I have Hawke Blue on my Mustang for Track days and I could smoke them if I
wanted.
 
I can only see going to a Wilwood system if your going to many Track events
and you need a better range of pads for different events.

Tigers,
Is anyone using the Wilwood front disc kit?  If so, is it that much better
than the stock brakes?
Thanks in advance.
