nissanman312 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 I take it you rate them Alex I'm guessing a fast road setup is enough for me I don't track 8 or 10 compound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I use them on the 666 bhp 350Z and the 650 bhp R35' http://www.carbotech-europe.com/compounds.htm Please tell me there's a build thread somewhere for this demonicly horsepowered 350z !

ZMANALEX Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I take it you rate them Alex I'm guessing a fast road setup is enough for me I don't track 8 or 10 compound If your car is stock then 6 will do for spirited driving or if you push on then perhaps 8. Both are rotor friendly. I use 10 rears and 12 front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 8 should be fine for your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissanman312 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 I keep getting told ferodo 2500 are better no noise and less dust but I've also herd these are loads better I've spoken to Ian at carbotech and he needs some 370z backing plates to make some up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) 8 should be fine for your application. Alex have you used PF compound eg 01 or pagid rs 15 or 29? If yes how does it compared to the car carbotechs 10/12? Edited June 10, 2015 by GT4 Zed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes how does it compared to the car carbotechs 10/12? I have used PF01 and Pagid RS29 and I prefer Carbotech. Each to there own thou. Try them, however 12 may be overkill for your application.

docwra Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I keep getting told ferodo 2500 are better no noise and less dust but I've also herd these are loads better No comparison to the DS2500, Carbo's are far better. Ive got XP10's on the front of my 135i and Ive been impressed, only bad part was that I managed to set fire to the passenger side cailper while bedding in so its a bit noisy when giving full brake death. Prefer them to RS29 but would probably still take Carbon Lorraine RC05+ given the choice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
