Where to buy Carbotech 1521 pads?

[WayneM3]

It is time to replace my stock brake pads and I am looking at the Carbotech Bobcat 1521 pads because I was happy with them on my E46M3. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good place to buy them? Any special holiday deals? Any list sponsors?

How do you like them? Their website doesn't work for me for some reason when I want to see what options they have for the M3

IND is a CarboTech dealer and has worked with CarboTech directly to develop a number of custom applications.

WayneM3, I'll send a PM your way.

I used the 12's in front and the 10s in back...i think they are pretty good but I don't have a comparison as these were my first track pads...I do have some HawkDTC in my "car parts bin" that I will use afterwards....I have been on the carbotechs for around 4-6 track days (do'nt remember i don't keep count) but of course the fronts are gonna be done soon compared to the rears.....only thing is that the carbotechs do not come with anti rattle clips and a slot for the brake pad sensor but who cares about those anyways.

as a pad they are great and even though they aren't the most favored on here an experienced friend suggested me to try them out as they worked out great for him. i will compare these to the DTC when i get a chance.

if you call carbotech and tell them what car you have and what your preferences/driving style is, they will set you up with whatever you need.

When I ordered my 1521 pads directly from them they came with the brake pad sensor cutout. Not sure if that applies to their track variant pads but I'm sure you could request it? They're terrific pads nonetheless! I will be installing them in my other cars.
