Carbotech Brake Pads are Amazing
One thing I must say now is that Carbotech brake pads are absolutely amazing. We had zero fade, and were able to dive deeper into the corner off the main straight, often making passes that way because others braked much earlier. The pads were always there, and were very confidence inspiring. No one had any criticism for the brakes.
And no, we did not get free pads from them, or any other type of payoff…I listed them on our sponsors page for the minor discount they gave us, but I only write my praises for them because of the astounding performance of the pads themselves. A few years ago, I had Hawk race pads on my old BMW Turbo track car. The Hawks did brake well when hot, but didn’t brake well when cold, and I also experienced fade with the Hawks. In contrast, the Carbotechs gripped the same hot or cold, and none of us experienced fade during the LeMons race.
Whether you need pads for your track or street car, Call them up (877-899-5024). Ask for Mike Jr., who is one of the owners. He will spend the time with you to find just the right compound for your application like he did with us. For us he chose XP8, and it was perfect. I got a set for my VW TDI daily driver (and occasional track day car), too.
We’re all proud to have the Carbotech stickers above the Volvo’s front wheel wells.
