I have ebc reds on my car. Since I have put them on I have done some hpde's, autocross, and track days. The question I have is; what should the pads look like? My pads on the surface area are not smooth anymore they are coarse like a stone. Is this common with this type of pads? Thanks

 

EBC products are only for showcars and hardparkers. Cobalt friction has got what you want.

Cobalt is

But I honestly never had trouble with my red stuff pads on my old Integra.

I did my full road racing season last year with the EBC Yellowstuff on my DC2 with no problems too.

So is Carbotech's "Bobcat" compound comparable to the Cobalt GT-Sport, as far as their purpose? I do HPDEs on GT-Sports now, but will try something else the next time around. I'm not unsatisfied with them, I just want to gain some first hand experience with different pads.

Which compounds are most of the Carbotech guys running on race day?

 

i've tried bobcats on many customer vehicles and i dont like them. i like GT-Sports better. i'd rather use the carbotech panther+

IF you are doing HPDE and drive the car on the street, I recommends AX6 or XP8.
If the car is heavy with small brakes and it is dedicated race car try XP10 or XP12

 

cobalt friction ftw.

andie sets the bar for the best customer service in the history of car parts.

the pads kick *** (spec VR's and GT-sports) so i can imagine their new compounds are going to be even better.

 

is there somewhere i can get a hold of a set of cobalt friction gt-sport?

 

just go to cobalt's website and order directly from them.. . Same as ordering from Carbotech as well.

Just order directly from http://www.cobaltfriction.com - I've ordered items from them a couple times per year for the past several years and been nothing but satisfied.

 

their car pads suck, but EBC makes a decent motorcycle brake pad.

 

i bought a set of ebc reds lat year , ran 2 road races in my vw , didnt last at all , wosrt brake fade ever!!1

 

Yeah I am not impressed either. I will have to get a set of cobalts. they sound like the hot ticket.

That guy civicrr is a chump. He doesn't even race anymore because he is too lazy to go through his car after he won the 25 hour...again.

 

At an HPDE this past Friday someone was using EBC yellow stuff on his S2000 and they were holding up very well. According to him, EBC changed management and revamped their products. The best thing is that he paid about 60% of other racing brake pads. I still haven't found specific information on these pads, like MOT, for reference to other pads.
