nice, bumped brake thread. I'll give an update on the Carbotech XP8s

Let me start by saying thier awesome! Unbelievable stopping power, no heat up required. Cold, stopping pressure is equivalent to stock. Warm, it gets a little lighter. (less foot pressure more stopping)

1st 3k miles no noise.

I'm at 5k on them now. They squeek at slow speeds, coming up to traffic lights with light pressure on brakes. Not loud enough for people to turn their heads and look.

Noise seems to go away for a while after getting them really hot on a back road.

I've heard this experience repeated with other that installed the XP8s so I think it's pretty typical.
