Default I need rear Carbotech pads before the 22nd

I'm in urgent need for a set of Carbotech rear pads XP8 or XP10, XP6 would work as well, I ordered a set online but won't receive them untill after the track day, any one have an extra set I can buy? or exchange for the ones I ordered after the 22nd, please let me know what you have.
Thanks

I have XP8's with only a bit of use on them. Let me check my garage tonight and make sure I'm remembering right.

I have an old set of Cobalt Friction pads that I bring to the track as a backup. You are welcome to them if need be. I don't remember what the compound is, but they are track pads.

Thanks guys, please let me know regarding the XP8, I can pick them up today, for the Cobalt pads are they more aggressive than the XP10? (What I use in the front) I just don't want to end up with too much rear brake bias.

I think the xp10/8 combo is similar to xr2/3 for cobalt.

I have a set of XP8 on my car right now, but no tools and no spare rear pads for me to swap in. Sorry

I'd guess they are similar to the XP8/10s. They are about 10 years old and probably not a compound currently made. They have only 1 or 2 track days on them. You can use the full set if you prefer that to mixing unknown compounds. Anyway, I'll have them and you can swap at the track if you like.

Are you gonna be at the turn2 track day? My rear pads can last me maybe few sessions, depending on how hot it is, my fronts are brand new, so they will take off some heat of the rear, but its really good if u have them with you, at least I don't have to cut my day short if the rears fail on me. Thanks!

Just came home and to my surprise I found a FedEx delivery of the Pads, it's 2 days earlier than what the tracking number suggested! I guess am very lucky, I'm gonna put them on now. I will see you tomorrow at the track, I have a Silverstone with a hardtop #72.
