Carbotech is now offering pre-bedded pads
Carbotech Performance Brakes now offers pre-bedded brake pads in all compounds! In case you aren't familiar with this term, bedding brakes burns resins to keep your pad running most optimally. Tests have shown better performance and better pad wear due to our unique pre-bedding process. Carbotech's pads are now track or street ready from the minute they arrive at your door step. Just install and you're ready to roll. To have your brake pads pre-bedded is an add-on option, and must be requested when ordering.

Hmmm....
Sounds interesting!!!
Butt.....I thought a big part of the bedding process was to transfer a layer of pad material onto the rotor.
Is that not necessary with your pads???
BTW, I ran XP12/10's at VIR and they worked very well!

I would go easy for 2-3 laps that will transfer a layer of pad material to the rotor. We have tested this on sevreal race cars with great results.

In case there are any skeptics on this I was a "test dummy" at Road America where we stop from over 140 mph 3 times a lap. I took them out of the box (XP12F/XP10R), put them on, and was braking hard on the first lap. It only got better from then on, and the reduction in hassle is even better!

love my XP8 :-) I went a little too deep though into Turn 7 @ Lightning @ NJMSP until I got the hang of them! Nothing like 30 feet of grass and a bad bearing to learn the limit of your pads. Makes my old hawks look like crapola!

And I'm not trying to take business away from Carbotech, but to be honest, their pads are so good that you can take their normal pads and go pound on them right away as well. As long as the rotors have a 'layer of brake film' (from any brake pad), they perform beautifully right out of the box.
Awesome stuff guys...as always!
