Any carbotech brakes users? Need help

What kind of life are you getting out of your pads? My 350 with little brakes got 3 events tops per set. The Corvette got 5-6 events. What should I expect, I would assume 5 days in F and 5-6 in R?

Depends a lot on the track. The Carbotech's have the best feel and bite of any pad I have used. Let us know about your wear rates when you've had a chance to put some events on them.

Heavier cars eat up pads quickly. I can dust a set of front XP12's on my GT-R in 2 days on some tracks. But that car weighs 3850lbs and carries a ton of speed. Really depends on too many factors to give you even a ballpark.
