FS: Carbotech AX6 Brake Pads
Up for sale are a set of Carbotech AX6 Brake Pads.
I tried them for testing purposes and they only have 30 street miles on them.
They bite a bit better than the factory C5 Z06 pads and even more so as they heat up. But caution, they do squeek.
All four corners for $285 shipped.
Quote from Carbotech description:
The AX6 takes the place of the Panther Plus compound that was so successful. AX6 was specifically engineered for Autocross applications. A high torque brake compound delivering reliable and consistent performance over a very wide operating temperature range (50F to 1150F +).
Advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction, and very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. AX6 offers high fade resistance, rotor friendliness at all temperatures, excellent cold stopping power, and non corrosive dust. As a result, AX6 is an excellent choice for Autocross. AX6 has gained tremendous popularity with SCCA Prosolo/Solo2 competitors for its fantastic bite, release and modulation.
Many drivers use the AX6 for street driving as well, even though Carbotech doesn't recommend street driving with AX6 due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6 is NOT a race compound, and should not be used as such. AX6 shouldn't be used by any intermediate or advanced track day drivers, and should not be used with R compound tires (racing tires).
