[QUOTE="davidd, post: 120281, member: 1177"] Unfortunately, you have to work pretty hard to get brake lining information. The GGW is Green Gripper Woven made by ScanPac and their spec sheet gives most of the data. They also make GGA, which is Green Gripper Ariamid, that is not woven, but solid and it is not green (it is grey). The aramid lining does not have aluminum oxide in it so it is not as grippy. It is still in the range of AM4. However, I used Industrial Brake & Clutch in NJ. I asked them if they had ever used GGA. They did not know what I was talking about at first and then caught on. The owner had been using GGW for over 25 years, but had never seen GGA. It is worth calling to see if the lining you decide you want is in their supply chain. Sometimes you can search specifically for the "J661 tests", which are the SAE designed friction tests used to compare friction materials. GGW is over 0.50 and GGA is just below. David [/QUOTE]
