Carbotech Brake Pads
Simply the best brake pad for your Spec Miata! We now carry the full line of G-Loc brake pads. Based on G-Locs reccomendations we offer the R8, R10, and R12 for race applications. The hot setup for most cars at most tracks is the R8 rear pad, and the R10 front pad.
Now available pre-bedded, so you can just put them on and go racing. No more late night trips down the public street outside the race track to bed the brakes. You will still need to get the pad surface and rotor surface to work together, but this can be done on the pace lap. Price is $20.00 per set.
Since the pre-bedded pads are so good, we have decided to primarily stock the pre-beds. For $20.00 it saves you a significant amount of time and in some cases will make your pads last longer because a lot of people do not properly bed their race pads;. If you want a set of pads that are NOT pre-bedded, we can still get them for you just let us know. All prices reflect the 2013 NEW Carbotech prices on a Pre-Bedded pad.
Carbotech XP8™ (1108™):
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range (200°F-1350°F+). Carbotech XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Outstanding initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance, very rotor friendly with non-corrosive dust. Excellent as a front brake pad for lighter ITA, ITB, ITC, SRF, and other cars that weigh less than 2,200lbs. Perfect for novice, intermediate and advanced track day (HPDE) use with any tire, and can still be driven safely to and from the track. There are several vehicles that use this on street, autocross, and at track day (HPDE) events. Carbotech does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotech XP8™ is also a great rear brake pad for almost any race car (Spec Miata-T2 Camaro/Firebird).
Carbotech™ XP10™ (1110™):
When Carbotech unleashed the XP10™ to the general public, and it was an instant success, gathering multiple regional, divisional, and national SCCA/NASA road racing championships. This is a very high initial bite friction material, with a coefficient of friction unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of 1700°F. Due to the high level of friction and bite, this material is recommended for cars weighing 2,300lbs or more, not including formula cars and cars with brake bias weighing less than 2,300lbs. This is the preferred compound for the front of Spec Miata racers, SSC,SSB, T3, SRF, ITS, ITE, H1,H2, H3, H4, 944 Cup, ST, GS, Factory Five Cobra’s and many more Grand-Am/SCCA/NASA classes. XP10™ is also ideal for advanced/instructor level HPDE drivers. XP10™ still maintains the highly praised release and excellent modulation, rotor friendliness, and non-corrosive dust that have made all Carbotech compounds so successful. XP10™ is not recommended as a daily-driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
