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...

Both are rotor friendly. I use 10 rears and 12 front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Try them, however 12 may be overkill for your application. Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
