I've got XP8's on my road car.......great performing pad but quite dirty. Carbotech are about 5 miles up the road from me and a very helpful bloke

I've got 12 pots so that means 8 individual pads on the front..........now that's expensive LOL

I've got xp10's, great pad, expensive but worth it. Probably not the best pad for everyday use but for track they are great! Make sure you follow the bedding in process lee, carbotech need to get hot a few times and they like the discs to have their 'residue' on but it doesn't take long to do. Quickest bedding in i've ever had to do before!

I swear by them on my Spec C. I use xp8's to kill two birds with one pad. But as stated above with performance comes draw backs,, They squeal and are very dusty so not for the shampoo crowd.
