Hey guys well I called cobalt to get some Gt-sport pads and there on backorder.

So I called carbo-tech and they said they had a pad similar to the Gt-sport and it was called the "Panther Plus" have any of you guys heard or delt with these pads.

How was the performance.

good.. how would you guys directly compare the

panther plus's to the Gt-sports?

 

I used the Panther Plus for a track day this past weekend on my S2K and they worked great. They are probably too noisy and dusty for street use, but awesome at a track!

Most def.

But for track use they are

 

I had no issues with them as far as noise. As far as dust, they were no worse than the Axxis Ultimates or Hawk HP+ pads I have used in the past.

when you say noise what do you mean... squiling? or what.. and does it do it all the time? or just when there cold.

 

talk to MATT at carbotec....YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED!

Yes, I meant the high-pitched squealing when the brakes are cold. Of course, driving around town would almost never get them up to temp. so the noise was getting to me. I took them off today and put my Hawk HPS/OEM pad combo back on.

 

anyway to compare these to cobalt's? gt sports or vr spec?

they do not compare to the vr's.
they 'might' be a close match to the gt-s's

yes i was looking for a direct comparision of the Panther +s to the Gt-sports.

 

yea any pad with this coefficient will make some noise on light pedal pressure. in fact, I like hearing it. tells me my car is stopping fast

 

I've used the Panther Plus for track days as well and had great results. I was worried about the squealing b/c I left them on the car with occasional street use, but had no problems with that at all.

 

I went from P+ F/R to GT F/R and VR F, GT/R. I must say I liked the GT setup much better.

I used the panther pluses on a 2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege for about 6,000 miles (until I sold the car). They were good all around pads. They handled track use well, had a little too much initial bite for auto-x for my taste (when they heated up), and were fun on the street. They dusted similar to axis ultimates.

I would highly recommend these pads and had a good experience working with Matt.

 

They worked great for me at the track and I even left them on for daily use..great pads

I wouldn't compare them to VR's but I think they are better than the GT's

 

For those who used the Panther Plus before, what did you think of the dust levels?

I totally understand the consequences of having a brake pad w/ higher coefficient of friction. Excellent braking characteristics at the expense of low temp. squealing and more brake dust. I'm sure some users can get used to using them everyday but I just couldn't.

Mine will be saved for track days.

as far as the braking goes, how would you compare the hp+ vs. the ultimates vs. the panthers?
