Awesome brakes. Significantly less brake dust than OEM pads.

I need some new rotors and was asking another 3/S member what rotors they suggest, they told me the same exact combo hands down "Carbotech rotors/Bobcat pads."

Where did you get yours...how much better is braking than stock now, did you bleed/flush break fluid along with the pad/rotor install?

Thanks,

Tommy

Yea, I read that was an awesome combo, but I was leaning towards the IPS complete package. Instead of the bobcat pads it comes with the Hawk HPS, is there a significant difference?

I didn't have to bleed the lines after the install.

I can't really quantify how much it is better than stock. What I noticed is, less brake dust.

I got it from IPS. I dunno if carbotech has drilled rotors, but get the slotted ones.

Second Supercar; Philip is a great guy and excellent service. I just bought the same Carbotech rotors and Bobcat pads for the front, as well as SS brake lines. Fast shipping and great support from Philip. I also like Jeff and IPS, but in this case I went with Supercar because they seem to specialize in things like brakes. And, as a general aside on the Carbotech products, I work with a guy who races a Subaru; he swears by Carbotech and has been running them for years.
