Carbotech

Use Panther Plus in the front and Panther in the back.

They have a new compound called Bobcat that I think is designed to replace the Panther compound.

That's what I use in my Brembos at the track.

Use Endless CC-X or CC-M, if you want to get kinda extreme.

I got word today that the backing plates for all the 350Zs ship out of Canada on Wednesday (3/19). I expect them to be in early-mid next week. I'll let you guys know as soon as they arrive.

I use HP+ on the fronts and the HPS on the rears. I leave the HPS rears in all the time, but I only run the HP+'s up front at the track because they whine like crazy and tear up the rotors.

Im with Raceboy, Hawks all the way , they are used almost to exclusion around here on NASA and SCCA IT classes where the only brake upgrades are pads and lines. One basic about race brake pads though, many of the more aggressive ones are made to perform at a very high heat range where street pads are all fade, but when cold many race pads perform substantialy worse than street pads. Ive known a couple people that got into trouble trying to run too hot of a pad on the street just make sure you keep the race pads on the race track
