What are the preferred brand frictions to use in the forward drum, stock, Alto's, etc...???
Thanks,

SignUp Now!I use stock (4) and stock steels in the forward drum--7 Alto and 7 Kolene steels in direct (also use an aluminum apply ring instead of the stock thin one) in direct. Best of luck.
I agree with Lee here.
I think there would be more advantage to getting 5 forward frictions than to any particular type of friction in that pack since they are non-shifting.
I usually use 6 Alto Red and stock steels in the directs.
I prefer Borg Warner tan frictions in the OD and forwards.
It would give more uniform clamping force--but is it necessary--probably not. As I said I have never burnt forwards. I used to use the aluminum in forward but have not for the last 2 years and can see no difference.
