Default Carbotech XP-8 will get you too and from the track...Where are you running.

Deff not a street pad they will squeel, but they will stop you on the street. And a cheap $215+ shipping : ). Other then the cost they performed well on Stasis stock replacement rotors. They stopped the car and resisted fade very well considering It was a stage 3 Avant on race rubber and 2 passengers. Slight fade maybe on 100-30 mph braking (I mean tromping on the peddal) Other than that initial bite was excellent, modulation was excellent. On a faster track they might have even been better, but the track I was on Parumph in NV is not quite fast enough that you have to modulate too much. Pretty much just stood on them. They were ok on rotors, but did leave some pad deposits, but that could ahve been do to crappy break in.

I think the XP-8 is good to about 12-13,000 and ZP-10 13-1400 deg f.

A+ there was a set of XP-10's in the classifides for 190 shipped, if they pop back up grab them, they go for 230 before shipping.

What track are you running on?

Default Stock calipers, I assume? Not many choices. Did you try Kerr Friction?

Ed at Induktion knows most of the pad options - give him a call.
