Default Thank you Carbotech...

For creating a quality one piece pad for my C6Z06. I tried your new one piece pad in the XP12 compound and it is a total winner!!!

After a hard track day, there were plenty of pad left compared to the paddlets and the perfomance was exactly what I expected. I see these definately lasting longer than the paddlets.

The most positive experience was installing the pads. Basically it took me longer to remove the wheels than to install the pads. And for those with a C6Z and have changed the paddlets, you know what I am talking about (hell)

Again, thank you so much Carbotech for the one piece pad. It has made my life much easier.

Glad the one-piece pads are working for you. After you have some wear on the pads, would you let us know if they are developing any taper?

As you know tapered pads are a problem in many brake systems (including the C5s) because they create a "long pedal". This was one of the reasons for going to the "padlets".
