Wilwood Dynapro Pad Knockback issue.
Hi Guys, I am having a strange issue with my brakes. When driving aggressively, I get pad knock back, however, I already replaced my front hubs and the issue is still there. I really don't think it is the rear because of the amount of travel needed to engage the brakes again. Any ideas?

Is this on track or on the street that you experience knockback?
It's known that the Miata knuckle flexes over about 1.2g (ish) in cornering... this is enough to cause knockback on track, especially if you have larger than stock rotors.
I assume you have a two-peice rotor with the Wilwood kit - does it appear to "wobble" when you spin it by hand without the wheel attached? Have you checked bolt torque on your caliper brackets?

Both. But only if I drive agressiveley in the street. Sudden right to left movement (sloloms) will do it every time.

Hmm. Did not know this. I am pulling over 1.2 for sure on track but not on the street.
It does not wobble. Have not checked bolt torque. But I would find it hard to believe that would be the issue

The Dynapro is available in both radial and lug mount forms. The TSE kit is lug mount because that's more convenient (it bolts up to the same bracket as the Dynalite) and because most of the stiffness improvements from radial mount calipers really only apply if you've got an upright with radial mounting holes on it.
