Strange has two different compounds for the calipers in my dragster, I put the softer compound (less aggressive) in when I changed them out this spring.

I ran the Strange softs for many years, but they suggested I go with the hard compound when I replaced them this year. I have 20 or so passes on them and from a functional and "feel" standpoint, I don't notice a difference. I am curious as to how they wear the rotors.

PSweeney:
thanks guys, my concern would be their grab in the shutdown up setting the car under braking. I think I'll go for soft . I'm not sure what pads I had in my altered Wilwood, but they did wear the disc grooving it quite badly after a season or so running them

You can tell which pads you had by the color of the backing plate, black is soft
