SKU: SPT-150-8855K
MFG SKU: 150-8855K
The Wilwood BP-10 Pad Plate 7416 Replacement Brake Pads are a third-party upgrade crafted for drivers seeking reliable braking performance with a balance of street comfort and track capability. Designed for Wilwood Superlite 4 and 6-piston calipers (plate #7416), these pads offer smooth, consistent stopping power for Acura Integra, Honda Civic, or similar front-wheel drive compacts with vented iron rotors. Here’s what you need to know to confirm if they’re the right fit for your setup.
What’s Included
- Pads: Axle set (4 pads) for Wilwood Superlite calipers (e.g., Billet Narrow Superlite 4/6, Forged Narrow Superlite).
- Compound: BP-10 medium-friction metallic composite with low noise and dust properties.
- Thickness: 0.65" (16.5mm), fits caliper plate #7416.
- Shape: D-shaped, specific to Superlite caliper design (check your caliper’s pad slot).
Compatibility Details
- Calipers: Fits Wilwood Superlite 4 and 6-piston models (e.g., Billet Narrow Superlite 4/6, Forged Narrow Superlite 4/6 Radial Mount).
- Rotors: Compatible with vented iron rotors (not drilled/slotted steel or carbon-ceramic).
- Vehicles: Commonly used in Wilwood brake kits for:
- Acura Integra (1990-2001, non-Type-R with kits like 140-10735).
- Honda Civic (1990-2005 EX/Si trims with 262mm rotor kits).
- Honda Fit (2007-2013 with compatible kits).
- Not Compatible: Non-Superlite calipers (e.g., Dynalite requires 150-8850K), or rotors incompatible with BP-10 (verify your kit’s rotor type).
- Fitment Check: Confirm your caliper uses plate #7416—measure pad slot or check your Wilwood kit manual (e.g., 140-10735 uses these).
Performance & Features
- Braking Power: Medium friction offers smooth engagement and solid stopping force, ideal for street/strip or light track use (up to 800-900°F).
- Rotor Friendly: Low abrasion extends vented iron rotor life compared to aggressive race pads—great for cost-conscious drivers.
- Consistency: Flat torque curve ensures predictable braking across low-to-mid temperatures, with quick bedding for immediate response.
- Noise & Dust: Low dust and quiet operation make it street-friendly, unlike noisier race compounds (e.g., Hawk HP+).
- Temperature Note: Wear rate increases at higher temps (above 900°F)—fine for autocross or HPDE, but may fade under heavy track abuse (consider BP-20 for that).
Best Uses
- Street Driving: Quiet, low-dust performance with enough bite for spirited runs.
- Light Track/Autocross: Good for short sessions or moderate braking; not ideal for sustained high-heat racing.
- Drag/Strip: Reliable for launches with minimal wheel hop on FWD compacts.
Installation Considerations
- Skill Level: Easy swap for experienced DIYers; professional install recommended if adjusting your Wilwood kit (e.g., bedding process).
- Non-Returnable: Once installed, pads can’t be returned—verify caliper fitment beforehand.
- Bedding: Follow Wilwood’s bedding procedure (moderate stops to 500°F) for optimal performance—see kit instructions or Wilwood site.
Is This the Right Choice?
- Yes, if: Your vehicle has a Wilwood Superlite 4/6-piston kit (plate #7416) with vented iron rotors, and you want a street-friendly pad with light track capability. Great for daily Integra/Civic builds or show cars.
- No, if: You’re running a different caliper (e.g., Dynalite, TC-6), non-iron rotors, or need max track performance (look at BP-20 or BP-30 instead).
