Default OK web savy track junkies, I need help.

Trying to find Track capable pads for the Altima SE-R with no luck other than the Colbalt XR2s

Can a fewe of you check your distributors and see what else is out there and how fast they can get them. Right now it looks like the XR2's if I can't find anything else by tomorrow night.

Thanks.

Send the stock pads to Carbotech and they will make whatever compound you would like.

Having personal experience with the Cobalt Friction XR2s in SCCA and NASA racing, I'd stick with that compound. High torque, wide temp range and low rotor wear are HUGE upsides!

Just don't let the XR2 black brake dust dry on your wheels, it's a B**** to clean off!

OK,

I am going to give the XP10-F/ XP8-R combo based on their recommendations. Let's see how it goes.
I'll post on the Trackpad DB after this weekend.

Porterfield in Costa Mesa,CA can cut a custom pads for just about any car from almost any compound they sell. The pads won't have any special OEM springs or clips.
