PG had these on for a while and was impressed, but not sure whether he tried a track day with them.  :smiley:

This year, a friend of mine had them on his R32 brakes front & rear on the RING and he smoked them pretty bad which also damaged the discs (he now has judder). By comparison, my Carbotech XP10 front/XP8 rear lasted perfectly and the discs were also in perfect condition although I was lapping much better than him !

they are ok for track. They need to be heated before getting the maximum usage out of the, Carbotech is the way to go.
