Who wants ceramic brake pads/"dustless" for E70?* UPDATE: THEY ARE DONE

Denalio · #1 07-02-2009, 04:31 PM

I am trying to get a group buy for ceramic pads rolling. For E70 owners that are tired of cleaning black soot off your wheels this is a good solution and also prevent pitting from OEM corrosive pad compound dust. The front pads need to be manufactured with the ceramic compound since this type of pad is not available on the market. If you are interested see the post in the Group Buy section. The compound is non-corrosive and will be manufactured by Carbotech Performance Brakes. The compound will be their BOBCAT formulation, however other formulations are available check at Carbotech Performance Brakes. The BOBCAT compound should cut dust by about 70% and will improve braking.

i can say Carbotech makes a good pad. i have used their track compounds on my Z06. i am considering installing the Bobcats on my F-350 next pad change. i have friends that swear by the Bobcats on their tow vehicles.

FYI ya'll the AX (autocross) and XP (track) compounds are probably not a wise choice for street driven vehicles.

I am interested...currently running akebono's on the rear....the akebono fronts are not yet in production per the manufacturer. They are GREAT pads but tired of waiting.

Carbotech pads are very very good. Hope you find more people.

Where are we on this? Has there actually been a group purchase?

There has not been a group purchase. We did not have enough members committed. We had interest from the membership, but only a couple actually committed. We needed to have at least 5 sets (front and back) 10 total for the blanks to be produced. Sorry guys I was hoping this would work out.
