Looking for compound and correct part number for brake pads for LD calipers. Prefer carbotech but will appreciate any other advice.

check out Primus racing. I remember DaveW not liking Performance Friction but a lot of people run 'em
Another option is KFP Magnum brake pads. Carbon-Kevlar construction with a ceramic insulator between the material and the backing plate for most compounds.I have a number of 2Ltr cars on them (FF and some F1000 too).
I run Carbotech XP20's and have not tried anything else that works better, but I do hear that KFP's are also very good. So, IMO, it's a personal choice between 2 good alternatives.Quote:

The different available materials will respond as such.
I had them on my FF and also on an EP car and they always worked very well for me. Keith has decades of experience with them and his input on what pad to use at various tracks is very helpful.Quote:

By aggressive, Rick means high CF with superb initial bite. They are very rotor-friendly and easy to modulate.Quote:
