Default Carbotech XP8 pads to suit AP 4 pot CP5200s

Brand new, still in their box set of Carbotech XP8 brake pads to suit the AP 4 pot caliper CP5200 Family





Link to a pic of the pads with dimensions on the AP site:

These are unused, only selling as I no longer have the brakes these were for. Anyone who has seen how the members of the MLR (Evo version of Passionford) rave on about these will know how good XP8s are, ideally suited to fast road and track use.

They are a very similar compound to Ferrodo DS2500s

I'm after £150 delivered to your door.

How would you rate these against DS2500s?

I'd go as far as to say WAY WAY better to be honest.

I have Carbotech XP 8 pads on my Evo 8 260 front and rear. On my FQ300 I have XP 10 Front and XP8 Rear

On my brother's Evo 8 he has XP10 front and XP8 rear.

I've spent around £1500- £2000 with them in 2 years

I'm not loaded, but do have money to buy the best bits I can reasonably afford. I had the choice of Ferrodos or Carbotechs, and these are way better for the money.

On my FQ300 I removed a part worn set of DS2500s as they would die on hard track use, and never felt "sharp" or confidence inspiring when you first touched them.

XP8s on the hand - never fade, and bite hard and sharp from cold or hot. The dust they give off doesn't bugger wheels up either, it washes off very easily.

If I still had the calipers these fit, I'd still be using them.

If you can afford DS2500s or these, go for these. I'm quite confident anyone who uses their road car hard, with track use as well, will find these a lot better than DS2500s.

Okay I could be biased selling them, but the fact I choose them for my two cars, (and don't work for them by the way!) should tell you how much I rate them.

Hope that helps you?

Si
