Carbotech › Brake pads

Dust:

I sometimes daily drive on Carbotech XP10 front XP8 rear, and they’re totally fine but they dust and squeak like mad. First braking when cold isn’t super grabby but totally doable for a daily driver pad. They’re grabby once warmed up on the street but nothing to be worried about. I’ve gotten ~10,000 miles of driving and two TNIA track nights on a 450hp 3500lb car, and i suspect they can last a lot longer than that based on the pad wear I’m seeing.

Pros: long lasting, good grab

Cons: dusts, squeaks

Mileage: 10000 km

2016.5 CX-5 with 89,000 miles. So far I've had to replace the belt tensioner, accessories belt, water pump belt and breaks (technically I only needed pads and front rotors but I chose to just do them all in one shot since it made a negligible price difference since I was already doing the back pads.

Pros: cheap replacements

Vehicle: Mazda

Mileage: 89000 km

I've done an almost complete overhaul on my bought-from-OG-owner low-k '07 B6 3.6 wagon. DSG from an R36, completely rebuilt suspension front to back on airbags, brakes, wrap, interior, sound system (the list goes on and on) for less than the purchase price of a used-by-who R36.

Vehicle: Volkswagen Passat B6

Just changed mine at 65k for first time. Went with powerstops non slotted and happy so far. I loved my oem brakes and the amount of life I got out of them.

Pros: happy so far, long lasting

Mileage: 65000 km

From what I remember, On my c63, just the pads were $460, but the install was only $150. I brought them Akebono pads, and they said … oh these are the wrong ones. Funny my mechanic put them on just fine.

Pros: easy install, affordable pads

Cons: dealer incompatibility

Vehicle: Mercedes

Dust:

But seriously, having owned several BMW's and Porsche products (equally bad for brake dust) I've just gotten used to cleaning wheels more often and ignoring dirty wheels when I don't have time or energy to clean them that day.

Cons: lots of brake dust
