Default FS: brake pads

One set of Carbotech Panther+ track pads for the front rotors of the S2000. These have been bedded in but not used hard. Essentially they are better than new, because a new set has to be bedded in before it can be used, while these can go right onto the track.

Also included is another set of P+ front pads that are pretty well worn out. Depending on how much braking you do, they may be good for a full track day or many autox days. I kept these as spares in case I needed to swap pads to finish out a track day.

I also have a set of P+ rear pads that are even more worn out than the spare front pads. These would get you home, maybe even finish up a track day, but I wouldn't want to start a track day with them.

These pads have more bite than stock, and much higher temperature resistance. However, they dust a lot more than stock and they are noisy. They have good low temp limits and work great on the street, much better than stock, but you would have to live with the dust and the noise, something I wasn't willing to do unless I had track days on consecutive weeks.

All three sets for $100 total.

Great pads to use for track days until you really start being able to abuse R-compound tires (at that point you may run out of high temp capacity). Probably would be great for autoX. Also make excellent street pads if you don't care about dusty wheels and brake noise.

Anyone who buys this will probably also want to buy a set of new P+ rear pads rather than use these rear pads for anything but emergency spares.
