Hi people!!So i read in a JapCars magazine about theese brakepads. So checked their site and they seem to supply them for the 6. Apparently the brakedust of these pads does not ruin your alloys and the performances are also very good. So does anyone on here ever tried them? http://www.ctbrakes.com/pads.asp?Make=Peugeot&Model=306_-_XR,_XT_1.8,_2.0 |

Apologies this is possibly the most unhelpful post ever but..... does Carbotech look very much like CarBOTCH at a glance to anyone else  |

I had these on my evo, the noise was unbearable but for braking performance they were absolutely amazing, absolutely dicked the DS2500 pads I had in before! Had the XP8 compound. |

XP10 are meant to be aimed at fastmroad use, less noise.I will be going for the CL pads though, as they are some |

Well rated by the Evo crowd. Very expensive pads, circa 190 quid for 406 Brembos in XP8 flavour.________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Yep, expensive, but stonking performance + very low brake disc + pad wear, which kinda makes up for the initial price, these outlast our Wilwood race pads by about 10 to 1.

Are they noisy for the road (looking at something like XP8) ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Fairly quiet on the buggy, even on steel discs, they tend to be quiet if you give them some stick but noisy trundling around at low speeds, sorta like 1144's in that respect.Not certain if he keeps the midilite pads on the shelf but it only takes a couple of days to make our weird and wonderful shaped pads up. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I was a bit ambiguous as long as they don't need my backing pads I'm happy but concerned about low speed noise, I may have to discuss this with them. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
