A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range
(200°F-1350°F+). Carbotech XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds.
Outstanding initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of
friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely
high fade resistance, very rotor friendly with 100% non-corrosive dust.
Excellent as a front brake pad for lighter ITA, ITB, ITC, SRF, H4, H5,
and other cars that weigh less than 2,400lbs. Perfect for novice,
intermediate and advanced track day (HPDE) use with any tire, and can
still be driven safely to and from the track. There are several vehicles
that use XP8™ on the street, autocross, and at track day (HPDE) events.
Carbotech does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to
elevated levels of dust and noise. XP8™ is also a great rear brake pad
for almost any race car (Spec Miata-T1/T2/CMC). XP8™ is a great compound
on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.
