Carbotech Racing Brake Pads for the E82/E88 1 Series 135i are some of the highest performing
brake pads in the world, coming directly from Carbotech's research and manufacturing plant in
Concord, NC, the racing headquarters of the USA. It also fits E9X with the yellow-gold BMW Performance calipers.
Carbotech Performance Brakes
utilize true race compounds that are rotor friendly, eliminating the
grabbing and locking up that keeps so many drivers and race cars from performing
at their peak. You want to go deep to gain those precious fractions of a second
before you need to brake, and Carbotech brakes let you do just that. In
every turn, all race long.
Designed by racers for racers, Carbotech brakes
can be specified to meet the needs of your car and driving style. Give us a
call and we can recommend the compounds that will be perfect for your front and
rear pads and shoes, assuring that they perform together with optimum
effectiveness.
Carbotech pads are relatively easy on rotors, and if you're using your street car for track days, Carbotechs produce a mostly non-corrosive dust for easy wheel and paint
cleaning.
