You can order direct from Carbotech, or PFYC has 'em.

Just make sure that the price that they tell you is the same (or better than) the price on the site. I was mis-charged last time I ordered though they fixed it and refunded the difference when I called them on it.

IMO there are better pads out there, esp concerning longevity.

Here's my XP12s after two light days at Watkins Glen and one heavy day at Grattan. These are the better of the two pads. Granted my GTO is 300lbs heavier than a C5 Z06 but I expected better life out of them for the cost.





I'm going back to Hawk now.

I have the Hawk HP10s for the front of my TA, much heavier car, and it has made it thru 2 track days at Road Atlanta and 1 30 min session at VIR. I am pretty much an inexperienced driver who uses brakes more than I should, and the pads still have plenty left, work great and dust alot. I have a separate set of rotors I use with them. I had much more confidence with that set up than I did with the stock Z06 brakes with Hawk + pads. I think I will be switching the Z to the HO10s. I have been researching this for the past 2 weeks and I have decided the Carbotechs were not for me.
