Default Anyone recognize these pads? XP12s?
They are XP12s per Carbotech Adam.

Bought these from a forum member. They are supposed to be new XP12s, but the number is different from the ones I bought 2 years ago. The number on them is 27 NM, but google showed nothing. I am hoping CT has changed the number on them.

I just installed a set of XP12s last week and they looked exactly like that. Not sure about the number that was on them.

XP10's are orange... and I'm pretty sure the 12's are blue like that.

hard to remember, the backing color is usually gone the first day.

Yeah 12s are blue and 10s are orange. The latest set of 12s I installed have a different backing plate with 3 holes in it where the pad material comes all the way through. Guess they changed the bonding setup.

The "27NM" is not a Carbotech number. Just whatever the backing plate company decided to stamp it with.

Blue should be XP12.

No telling what they are since there are no marking on them.
Would you take 100 bucks for them?

If Adam stated they're XP12's I'd be willing to bet they are in fact XP12's. I swear that my last set of XP12's were green.

I have new XP-10 and XP-12 front pads for a C6ZO6. The 10's are orange; the 12's are blue.

They used to look like that also. When you can see the rotor through the pad is time for a new set.
