Brake pads Carbotech or WILWOOD

A good street and occasional track pad is carbotech bobcat

LoyalSage, yesterday i installed my new brake stuff. that would be Adam's slotted rotors with zinc, Carbotech Bobcat 1521 pads (semi-metallic), and the Tyrol kit. i'm possibly not finished with wearing off the zinc, but i'm pretty sure i'm in stable territory now. about 70-80 miles since install. ok my impressions: definite improvement with linearity of braking. OEM tends to overgrab on initial bite, go soft a bit at about 20%, then dig in hard again at about 30-40%, which makes smooth modulation too difficult. the Bobcats grab less on initial contact, and are relatively much more linear down to about 80% (as hard as i have braked since installing). the feel is more firm all the way as well... more feel of the friction at the pedal. if anyone was looking for good pads for this car, i think i found 'em. they obviously work well with Adam's rotors, as this combo is much nicer than OEM IMHO. but, to be honest, i think the modulation you want will not be found here. i think i know what you're looking for, and while this is an improvement, it's not like a multi piston setup.

Here's mine. MMP adapter brackets, stock 11" rotors, BP20 pads. Work very well.

I've got them on my SLC as well. They are amazing. I have stainless hoses and drilled/slotted rotors all around. Went from stock brakes with mintex red box pads, to Girling 60's with hawk hps pads, and put Wilwoods on it last year and the wilwood's just blow the others out of the water. AND they fit under the stock wheels.

I've got the Carbotec bobcats, They are a nice pad.

However the cold bite of the ax-6 is far superior to the xp10 for street and auto-x, and in my opinion far better than what my oem pads felt like and far more than the hps.

Carbotech XP10's are great for the track, but for daily driving they won't heat up enough to give you the stopping power that they are capable of. They also sqeal like crazy if they are not hot.

I am very happy with the Bobcats for street only

I received my new pads from Carbotech and will put them on this weekend.

Driving with the Carbotech 1521(front) for 3 weeks,now. They,definitely,don't have the OEM grasp and power. For everyday driving, they're ok, however... The big plus,no dust,no dust at all.
