Default carbotech pads!

just installed a set of xp10's & xp8's on my zo6 for the pocono event coming up this weekend. i just got finished bedding them and i have to say they actually feel very nice on the street. dosent seem like they really need to heat up! but the amountof brake dust created during the bedding was insane.

I ran XP9/XP8 on my car all last summer. More dust, a little more squeeking, but less work switching out before & after every event.

That's typical for a first bedding. The dust is non corrosive and easy to clean. And wait til you see how hard they stop.

Larry's latest version is the XP12 and is very agressive and race ready!!

Used mine for the first time this past weekend in auto-x. Hit the brakes moderately hard for a turn and almost put myself through the windshield.

It was nice to tap the brakes from then on and not have to hit them hard. I could go into a corner farther and still make the turn.

These things REALLY stop the car.
