Anyone know what the temperature range for Carbotech Panther Plus? I heard they are streetable, but I really wonder how streetable and what temperature it can hold up to.

thanks

 

http://www.carbotecheng.com says 150F to 1250F.
The P+ do bite hard when cold in the cold too, although they do seem to wear faster when driven on the street in winter.

 

Lazy asses...

From Carbotech's website:

http://www.carbotecheng.com/prod-ct-compounds.htm, the answer is:

150F - 1250F

Yes its streetable but they're dusty, noisy, and wear much faster when cold. Great for driving to and from the track.

 

Thanks, I tried http://www.carbotech.com, didn't know the correct URL.

Dont wear them this far...






Bite and overall braking torque goes to total **** when you get the pads down to these levels. What pad dosent? None!

 

is it a big deal for the rotors to keep switching back and forth to different pads, and do you have to re-break in the pads when you put them back on etc? I have the P+ on the fronts right now but dont really wanna drive around on the street to much with them. Thanks.


PS they work awesome!

 

I take emory cloth, or some cloth used to smoothing or grinding metal, and rub in a circular pattern over the rotor to help break up some of the pad transfer when I switch pads. With something like P+ or Blues, it will groove the rotor some what so there is nothing you can do to get the other pads to mate up perfectly unless you turn the rotors.
When I am preparing to go to a track event, I rub well with the emory cloth and put the P+ on a week before so it gives some time to let the pad transfer over some material and 'bed" in.

 

That looks like plenty of life left to me!

 

Its really not. The picture looks funny becaue I was using the macro function. Look at the pad in relation to the back plate. Its the same size if not smaller!

 

That's what i was gonna say. As long as the pad is as thick as the backing plate, you're okay, for the street anyway. What's the backing plate, 1/4"? Andie says we're okay to drive down to 1/8", but that should be the time to change pads for sure.
