Obviously, we get more dust in the fronts. But I think I'm willing to wait for Hawk/Tirerack to make/sell them since the cost is almost 50% less.

Rears are easy to find. There are NO BLANKS for the fronts. This is why we need to have them made. You will be waiting a while for D1294 blanks. It is already into the 3rd model year and nothing yet. It is pretty cheap IMO for clean and non-corroded wheels, but that is just me.

I have PM'd instructions to all that have been interested. The sooner we can get every ones orders the quicker the process will go. Thanks to everyone that contacted me. If anyone else would like to get in on this buy please contact me.

Thanks again.

Members,

If you want in on the group buy please PM me. For those that have already sent me their response please make contact with Carbotech per my response PM. To date only one person has followed through with the order. If we do not have at least 5 sets of pads this group buy will not be possible. So again please make contact with Carbotech. If you have lost the info I sent please send me another PM and I will get it to you ASAP. Thank you for your understanding and let's hope we can make this work.

Looks like this Group but is dead at the moment. Only a couple of the interested members have committed. Sorry guys. Thank you to the members that made the commitment.

I've used harder (non ceramic) pads and they do dust less. However, they warp rotors. I would be concerned whether these pads are compatible with the rotors.

I got mine in December and installed right after XMas...totally fabulous. I was running Akebono on the rears and these pads are better performing. And no dust!!! I have referred several other friends that are E70 owners.
