Default Carbotech Performance Brakes

It has come to our attention that there are some individuals/companies selling Carbotech products on the internet & they are NOT actual distributors for us. One such company is jdm hub. Please be careful when purchasing our products via the web. All of our certified dealers are listed on our website, ctbrakes.com. I personally have had customers call me after they have placed an order with such companies as jdm hub, letting me know that they received an email stating that their order had been cancelled. We do sell our products direct to our customers. Please do not hesitate to contact me directly via private message, email (adam@ctbrakes.com) or by phone (216-780-8825). You may also contact Carbotech directly. We are happy to take the time to discuss any questions that you may have about our products. I personally have worked with many people on this forum & those that I have know that I am an honorable business man & stand behind our products. And remember, we offer a 7% discount for all forum members!

Hi Adam, I just received the order I placed through THMotorsports; I had asked TH to either send them to me, or make note for you guys to include it in the shipment, but I need new Black- Carbotech vinyl to put on some newly repaired body panels for SCCA. Do you want me to call in? Or should I contact TH?

Thanks,
Chris Ronson Jr

So how does a company like jdm hub get enough quantity of product to make it worth while?

Is it China knock off pads?

That would be pretty scary for racing products.

I have been using and really like the Carbotech XP 10/8 combo and really like them. I called them up with questions and they are very helpful. Also fast delivery.

I did not realize about the 7% discount for forums members. I'll have to mention that on my next purchase.

We do not know, we dont sell them product it seems to be a website where thats just it a website. they are taking orders than cancelling them on customers. All of our dealers are required to sell at the same price. We do not let dealers advertise sale prices!

Is TH Motorsports an authorized distributor? I was going to order some pads through them since they're cheaper, but I don't want to get knock-offs!

I highly recommend ordering direct from the company. An added benefit to doing so is that if you are at a track event Carbotech is supporting, a really pretty girl named Janine will deliver the brake pads.

I do have to warn you, though, that she is married and her husband is a big 'un...

I'm thinking about the XP12/10 combo for my '99 FRC with DRM/Quantum cooling ducts, SS flex-lines, ATE SuperBlue DOT4, and stock rotors & calipers - I'm doing SoloSprint on a track that is particularly hard on brakes without a lot of straight-away time to cool things off. Sessions are about 20 min each. What are your thoughts?

There are a bunch of us that run the XP12 front / XP10 rear combination on our C5Z06s.


Carbotech is a good company to work with, I give them way too much of my money each year.
