    Just to add a little to the pot here, but what kinda of wear does everyone see on the rotors? We have one rotor that got chewed up real good, yet the other looks serviceable.

    I've used the same set of rotors through out 2009. That includes VIR, CMP, and Roebling tracks, about 10 races worth. You can also get Carbotech 8s if you are worried about them being too aggressive.

    I won't order anything until we get a complete count and I'll make notes here. Steve P, David S, and a few other Z guys use Carbotechs and I hope they can add to the count.

    I switched to the Carbotechs on my old RX7 and the difference in pedal feel was very noticable. Got better wear than the Hawks and they stayed good down to the backing plate. Ran 7 hours of the VIR 13 and they still looked fair when they came off. Well worth the money. Have not tried some of the newer Hawk compounds, mine were Blue/Black. Tried Hawks at CMP this year and the car was crap under the brakes.

    So, we've got:

    Me-4
    Chris-2
    Paul-2

    Any more? Danny from Carbotech just emailed me again wanting to know if we have a decent count. I doubt eight sets is going to do a whole lot for them. I'll call Steve P and check with him. Any other Z racers need pads?

    I finally did my inventory and it looks like I could use one set of front pads and one set of rear shoes....

    Nathan,


    Your carbotech brakes are here and I’ve got them ready for shipment. I’ve gotten everyone’s order shipped out but yours. We have you listed for two sets of pads and one set of shoes.

    Total is $122 x 2, plus the shoes at $147, or $391.87. If you use Paypal you can send money to me at [email protected], but need to include a couple extra percent for PayPal fees. Or check to:
