Honestly, if you are that uninformed about break pad compounds and the performance differences, then stick with a $100 set.

This is an interesting topic, many on here would like to see the opinions of folks.
If you could only see how unimpressed people are with an arrogant, no value add reply as yours....guys like you should leave this forum IMO....you add nothing!
OP, sorry...I just had to say it...I have seen too much of this kinda of crap on here lately...it's a good question and deserves good answers.

The statement you quoted by me was NOT direted at the OP nor his questioning which pads to select. Was it that friggen hard to follow this thread? It was directed towards someone that was stating, in a nutshell, Carbotech marking-up brake pads significantly and there isn't much differances between a lesser quality pad and Carbotech pads. However this gentleman had not realized the quoted amount by Carbotech was for Grandsport/Zo6 calipers.
As far as being arrogant goes, perhaps there are some on here. I generally try to help anyone and everyone on CF tech. There's countless threads doing just that.

Now, now, 'gentlemen'. Go easy on our Canadian brother who generally has a decent avatar and is a good dude. DSOM, we have no doubt that you are also a good dude. Tis the holiday season so we don't want either of you on the 'naughty' list ...

I agree. And if you go back and review the first page you will see my first response to the op.

Very satisfied and repeat customer of Carbotech here.
They're not the cheapest. But in my experience, they're the best for street pads.

The name on the box I still have is Parts Master. My Corvette Club bought several sets theu a salesman in the club. I have no idea where from. They have given me no problem whatsoever in 3 years use. I wish Chevrolet would make Ceramic Pads an option when we order the cars. It would be one less thing to do whenever I trade cars.....

When I've bought ceramic pads for my Vette's in the past, I've always got Raybestos Quiet Stops. Don't know if they still make them or not.

Like our AX™ & XP™ line of compounds, Bobcat 1521™ is a Ceramic based friction material offering minimal rotor damage and non-corrosive dust. Bobcat 1521™ offers outstanding performance, even when cold, low dusting and low noise with an excellent initial bite.
