Default Carbotech Performance Brakes

We take you deeper into the corners & across the finish line first.
When you want the control and modulation to take your track-bred car deep into the turns, you need unsurpassed Carbotech brake technology. Going deep before you brake allows you to stay on the accelerator longer going into the corner and even faster coming out.

If you're a professional racer, or if you're taking your street car to the track for club events, Carbotech has the best braking solution. That's why we are becoming the #1 manufacturer of performance brake pads around the world with professional and club racers--everyone who demands the best. At Carbotech, we've been heavily involved in club and professional racing for more than 17 years. We know what you need to win.

Smarter construction.
Only Carbotech uses a proprietary Ceramic and Metallic brake construction, not the carbon and iron used in conventional brake systems. Since carbon and iron combine to form carbide, which is used in cutting tools, you can imagine what those brakes are doing to your rotors.

Carbotech Performance Brakes utilize true race compounds that are "rotor friendly," eliminating the grabbing and locking up that keep so many drivers and race cars from performing at their peak. You want to go deep to gain those precious fractions of a second before you need to brake, and only Carbotech brakes let you do just that. In every turn, all race long.

Custom solutions.
Designed by racers for racers, Carbotech brakes can be specified to meet the needs of your car and driving style. Just give us a call and we can recommend the compounds that will be perfect for your front and rear pads and shoes, assuring that they perform together with optimum effectiveness.

Warning for Carbotech customers:
A website called JDM Hub has started listing Carbotech brake pads as "In Stock" and claims "Stock is synchronized (weekly) with JDM Hub's / JDM Hub's suppliers' and Carbotech's inventory and is subjected to change." These statements are false. JDM Hub is not currently and has never been a distributor for Carbotech. They have never placed even a single order with us and have no connection or knowledge of Carbotech's inventory levels. We suggest using extreme caution when ordering from JDM Hub and urge you not to order any Carbotech parts from this website. Your order will never arrive regardless of what their stock levels claim.

To place an order please contact me at 216-780-8825 I will be happy to answer any questions PM me or Email @ adam@ctbrakes.com

For a C5 Z06, occasional track days and street use is X10 & X8 the right combo?

I know they will be somewhat noisy on the street but will they last the summer ?

My son's "new" black/black 2003 C5 Z06, bought with 5200mi on the clock last month, all stock with new R888.

Along with my C6 a fine pair.

BTW, placed order for the pads & new braided lines.

I've got the X10 / X8 combo on my 2002 Z06 daily driver with occasional HPDEs. Couldn't love them more.
