I went for the medium compound, XP8, which is supposed to be streetable. I will keep them on the 17th--my last track event of the year. So far they are fine on the street. No issues with cold temp grip. However, they are somewhat noisy right before you come to a stop, so I'll take them out for the winter. With the BMW CAA discount, they are about ~$350 for the 4 corners.
A small thing: the bonding agent overflowed into the pad sensor space, and it wasn't possible to insert/use the sensors. Inconsequential if you won't run them all the time, but a minor quality control issue nevertheless. |
Hi Lucid, thanks for the review, I've also purchased the XP8 Carbotech. According to the ctbrakes website, as our rotos have been used with the stock brake pads, they should be resurfaced (turned) prior to installing the XP8s. Did you do this? If so what's involved in resurfacing rotos? I've got no experience with this.
Thanks again.
