PAD4908-28 GP200 .31 THK AXLE SET

The PAD4908-28 GP200 .31 THK AXLE SET by Wilwood represents a critical upgrade component for serious brake system modifications and high-performance vehicle builds. Designed for automotive enthusiasts and professional mechanics tackling complete brake system overhauls, this axle set serves as the foundation for achieving superior stopping power and reliability on both street and track applications. Whether you're upgrading a classic hot rod, mid-engine supercar, or dedicated race vehicle, proper brake pad selection paired with matched axle components ensures consistent friction characteristics and thermal stability under demanding driving conditions.

This GP200 compound pad set features a .31-inch thickness specification, engineered to work seamlessly within Wilwood's precision-machined caliper systems and rotor designs. The GP200 compound delivers moderate friction coefficients with excellent modulation and progressive bite characteristics—ideal for street-to-track vehicles requiring balanced pedal feel without excessive noise or dust. The .31 THK (thickness) dimension is critical for proper caliper geometry and pad wear indicators; using matched thickness across axle sets prevents uneven braking force distribution and premature rotor runout. Wilwood's manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent performance across multiple brake events, reducing fade and maintaining predictable stopping distances even under repeated hard braking.

Mechanics and fabricators benefit most from this axle set when building complete Wilwood brake systems or refreshing existing four-wheel hydraulic setups on custom vehicles. Verify compatibility with your specific caliper model and rotor dimensions before installation—axle sets must match both the caliper body bore and rotor thickness to eliminate binding and ensure proper pad seating. This component is essential for anyone standardizing on Wilwood performance brakes across multiple vehicles or transitioning from OEM to full motorsport-grade braking architecture. Installation requires attention to caliper mounting surface cleanliness and proper pad bedding procedures to maximize the GP200 compound's thermal range and lifespan.
