Carbotech Pads

[Roadhouse]

I ordered set of Carbotech pads a few days ago and wanted to see if any of y'all were running the same setup or if you had any thoughts. The rep I talked to suggested xp20 for the front and xp10 for the rear, due to the fact that I will be running R6s and primarily tracking at Hallett which is very hard on brakes. I will be on stock rotors, motul rbf 600 fluid, and SS lines.

I haven't run XP 20s but did run the 16s. Very hard on the pads and rotors, went back to the XP-12s up front with RP2 in the rear, brake performance seems the same per my traqmate data, 3 times the wear rate though.

From what I've heard, the 20s will at least wear better than the 16s. The xp12/xp10 setup seems to be pretty popular.

Oops, didn't see that this had already been addressed. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. It appears at least one person is using the xp 20 fronts.

A good majority of the Carbotech Pads we have sold to Boss owners is a XP12/10 set up, it is very popular. Have not yet sold a higher compound than the XP12 though.

I'll report back on the 20s after my first track day in March.

I just got my new pads today. I asked the dealer to just have Carbotech send whatever they recommend for the car on street rubber and was sent 12/8. I will report my experience on this combo when I return from VIR next week if interested.

How was VIR SVT event correct? I heard it was extremely cold, we were planning on going out there but Ken came down with the flu the night before. How did the XP20 hold up?
