I'm suppose to get my Carbotech XP-10 pads in from Counter Space Garage today and plan to install this evening. I will post some pics and videos with impressions soon there after.

Unfortunately, I don't have a scale. The pad area is still a tad smaller than the AP Racing kit from my research but pretty close and a nice option if you wan't larger diameter rotors. I picked my kit up for $1260 shipped (used for about 5k miles). I've seen them sub $1700 new, here for $1620 new http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/360787823367?lpid=82

Sweet! The rotors fill the wheels nicely. Report back on how they perform, once you get them bled.

Very nice.. I would suggest some Tonge factory Brake ducts to help cool ..

you should check with Wilwood and see if the 4pot can be used in the rear.. with different rotors of course..

If it were simple, I would but they didn't know that this or the last kit I got from you worked. I've got a bunch of people interested in the old kit, I got a ton of extra stuff with it too, so I'll just sell. Perhaps down the road I'll look into something for the rear. I've kept my eye out for the 08+ STI brembo rears.
