Brake pads Carbotech or Bosch

Carbotech has served me very well on my M6

I run carbotech 12/10 on my C5. Streetable but messy. I only really drive to track, on track, then home. Probably drive 100 street/leisure miles a year, but after 2 track days on this setup (wilwood aero6 in front) I’m very happy with the setup.

The bosch ceramics have slightly less bite than the oem dusty trws I had on my car, but they are MUCH cleaner and feel nice.

I'm liking the Carbotech 1521 pads for their better heat tolerance and modulation over OEM pads, though I feel light initial bite is slightly less.

Low dust brake pads. On my F87, I use Carbotech 1521. Slight decrease in initial brake bite, significant decrease in dust.

I use the XP10s on track. Highly recommend them. Since you don’t even have the Z51, likely the XP10s will be more than enough for you.

I track a WRX and have used XP12's in the front and XP10's in the rear. They work very well. IMO Carbotechs are one of the best for the track

Carbotech and dont look back, many proven won championships and leading modular pedal feel. I run them and love them !

im running XP10s... so far this set up is amazing, the braking is strong initial bite with little fade. Just take in consideration that this Carbotech pads are modular which means you will have a slight longer pedal travel than normal. And yes they are super noisy, when i drive it on the street i try to be careful with my braking and not feather the brakes, that will make then literally screech and grind the rotors, instead i try to brake a bit harder than usual to get a good bite and then let go of the brake once i stoped (put the car in neutral most of the time or creep forward little by little to releave some heat).

Am cumparat pentru un Audi A3 8P placute si discuri noi pe față de la Bosch. Placutele sunt acelasi model utilizat si inainte de schimb. Nu am mers prea mult cu masina de cand le-am schimbat dar am depasit 500-600 km. Acum ca s-a facut cald dupa 10-15 minute de mers in oras- cand se incing incep sa scartaie consistent la orice tip de franare- lenta, brusca. Au inceput sa fara asa din primele zile de utilizare. Nu e vorba de vreo depunere pe suprafete. Oricum problema apare dupa ce sunt folosite in oras 10-15 minute.
