Looking gorgeous TiAg! If I must, however, I will say although its unique, since our pre-facelifts do not have xDrive that I don't like the emblems for it.

Thanks. Yeah, they were on it when I picked it up almost 4 yrs ago. I'm actually glad its NV125 TC, with over 170k miles I would bet it would've needed work were it X Drive.

Thanks Brian.

You need to post some pics of yours. With all your added go, you sure need extra whoa.

Bumped for CrazyOneToo.

I'm bumping this thread because I want need new pads, am considering Cool Carbons but am concerned about the need to re-bed every few thousand miles. I only drive short distances daily but drive 'fairly aggressively'. Have you had to re-bed recently?

The only reason I am getting new brakes (after 10k miles) is because my Stoptech Street pads never bedded quite right and there is a big lump of material on one of my rotors. Drives me crazy at 60mph braking. Trying like hell to avoid this happening again.

TiaAgX5 is the best one to ask about cool carbon pads. He is very happy with them.

Ricky Bobby 04-24-2014 06:41 PM

Russianblue it's my understanding that you shouldn't have to re bed pads unless they weren't bedded properly in the first place, I don't think Cool Carbon is any different than any pads I've ever used.

You could try a re bedding procedure on your current pads to heat up the rotors and burn off those deposits, you'll need to do a few warm up stop/go sessions, then do about 15-20 hard braking sessions successively from 65-5 mph, the brakes will fade some. When that is done then drive without using the brakes to breeze them out for approx 15 mins or so, and then hopefully you'll have all that deposit material burned off
