Hmmm... mine have been on the car for a good while now... at least 7k miles I think.... and done plenty trackdays.... still a bit of life in them....

... mind you... helps if you put them on back to front every once in a while...

They came off our car after 3 years and pretty waiver thin - no cracking or crazing, but I think I'm fairly nice to my brakes.

The last two trackdays I have seen you at you either had the pads on back to front or where to hungover to drive no wonder your pads last

Just fit something maybe more suitable to the hard use like Carbotech XP8

while ive seen the XP8 pads show some slight surface cracking after hard use ive not seen any performance drop off even when down to rivets, last week i was changing a customers XP10 from a Time attack Evo as they were down to last 1 or 2mm! he reported no performance problems, just a grinding noise which wasnt suprising as they were near metal on metal!

Cheers

Hmmmm...interesting!
Anyone on here tried them before?

BigD has on his Evo.

IIRC XP8 are equivalent of Pagid RS4-2 and XP10 equivalent to RS12 operating temps, was tempted to try them myself a while back but the price wasn't much different to the Pagids and so being a cheapskate I was unwilling to be the guinee pig.

Perhaps if Ian at Carbotech was to pop a fantastic group buy special offer up for Scottish Elises we might get a few people trying them out.

Do you think he'd do that?

Just for info

XP8 is probably closest to Rs4-2 but has more inital bite and tempreature capability working upto around 750c, XP10 has more bite still and works up to just over 900c!...to be fair i dont think a car the weight of an Elise would need XP10 unless a hot track on very sticky rubber and driven by a man possesed....hmmm....maybe there is a case for them on these then

Will the XP10's work for endurance racing?
If so I think someone on SE may take some.....http://www.scottishelises.com/phpbb/mem ... ile&u=3996
