Default Brake Pads for the track

Before I place my order with Carbotech, is there anyone else interested in or needing pads? I can receive a 10% discount for being a NASA member, however, if by some miracle we can get 15 sets sold, the discount becomes 20%.

Suggestion: If you'll be running R-compounds for tires, I'd go with the XP10 for the front/XP8 for the rear. For street tires, I'd go with something a little less aggressive.

Carbotech link to list prices.

Even if you elect to use stockpads on the track, you should still flush your brake fluid with a high-temp cable fluid. Many folks use the Ate Super Blue(or Gold).

Also, they make pads for all applications. I'll be getting a set of fronts for my truck(Bobcats).

You and me both! He said lead time is normally 2 weeks, but he could probably help us. This time of year they're pretty busy.
