Also, the major parts store sell Valvoline synthetic dot3/4 brake fluid. It is about $8 quart and I can get a full flush and several bleeds from one quart. There are higher temp fluids available for a lot more money, but the Valvoline works well. Carbotech xp10 is a good pad and a good place to start. Getting a good bedding and pad transfer is critical. I don't doubt the guy who had some fade with these pads, but that is an exception. I have run xp8 on a 2500lb MX5 with no issues at Road Atlanta and turn 10 has some hard breaking.

Thanks I'll keep valvoline synthetic in mind.

That's funny. Sorry my spelling, grammar and punctuation stink. I don't really proof my post, type fast, etc. Obviously, I meant braking. You are coming downhill into turn 10 about 120 in my MX5 with a 90 degree turn. Even higher speeds in the big hp cars.

Do these pads look like they are still usable. I've been driving around on them for a week or 2 and they seem like they are working better than they did a day or 2 after the track day. Maybe they cleaned up a bit? I'd hate to trash them because they look like they still have tons of material left just for normal daily driving.

Did not catch what pad you are running on. The pad is smeared all over the rotor. If you have questioned regarding a brake pad setup for your setup and driving skill set, please PM us and we can help you out. :)

This is the stock pad.
