Default Carbotech

Just fitted Carbotech's xp8 brake pads front and rear on my 05 spec c today after reading alot of excellent reviews on the MLR, after doing the bedding in procedure i tried them for the first time properly and can definately recommend them they just get better and better the harder you press them, look forward to sunday now for the shootout

Agree completely.

Just to show how good these pads are, i went from standard Subaru 4 pot with carbotech pads, to AP 6 pots with Ferodo DS2500's....and there is pretty much no difference between them.

Am looking forward to trying the Carbotech's with the AP's soon
