Default Track pads, what is easily available in Canada?

Hey guys,

I read a lot of good things about raybestos st-43 pads on here. I was curious if any Canadians were running them and if so where did you get them?

Also open to suggestions on track pads that are readily available in Canada. I'll order from the states if need be, but just wanted to see what other guys did first.

EBC blues are easy to get.

Frank runs a group buy on Carbotech pads each year. If you can wait until the spring, which I assume you can, he will likely post a thread on here. Usually it saves the shipping plus a bit, and they are awesome pads.

I've always ordered from Zeckhausen Racing. They've been absolutely great with all my orders and easy to get in contact with. They're based out of New Jersey and ship pretty quick with tracking.

Cartbotech XP10's all the way, I'm a huge fan of them!

I'm on Frank's mailing list... I got this email in October:

Hi Folks,

After ten events over the past 7 years it is time for me to hang up my track day hat. I have enjoyed the opportunity to meet many great friends over the years that I've been doing this. I am sure that I'll see many of you out at the track. I hope that you have a wonderful winter.

In January I will be holding my annual Carbotech brake pad group buy.
If you are interested in that, please send me an email indicating that. Otherwise, I will only be contacting those who've participated in the GB in the past.

Drive carefully and don't forget to use snow tires!
Frank

Frank is a very nice guy will be more than happy to hear from any new comers interested in his group buy so don't hesitate to contact him.

+1 for the XP10's. I used them last year with OEM Brembo's and loved them. Drove 2 days at Stratotech (Fort Saskatchewan, just outside Edmonton) which is a tight, short track that is absolutely brutal on brakes, with no fade, excellent performance, and excellent wear. Be warned, however, like most track pads they get embarrassingly noisy on the street

Thanks for the comments, gentlemen. Just reading this. I'm not making forum posts for the GB, but if you're interested PM or email me before Feb. 18/13.
Thanks,
Frank

Sports Car Boutique should have what your looking for and I'm sure they can accommodate a group buy.
