Carbotech XP8 racing brake pad for BMW E30 M3, E36, E46, E34, E39, Z3/MZ3, E85.
XP8 friction compound is a high-torque output, exceeding the XP10 and XP12 and works best on lightweight cars with downforce.
Carbotech Racing Brake Pads 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.
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.
Carbotech XP8 Compound:
+ Very versatile pad option
+ High-torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range (200 °F-1,250 °F+) with great cold bite
+ Outstanding initial bite at race temperatures
+ High coefficient of friction
+ Excellent modulation and release characteristics
+ Extremely high fade resistance
+ Very rotor friendly with 100% non-corrosive dust
+ The XP8 race pads are excellent as a front brake pad for lighter racecars and especially with downforce where high and immediate friction is called for.
Perfect for novice, intermediate, and advanced track day (HPDE) use with any tire, and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Note: as a competition pad, there is no slot for the pad sensor and you will have to monitor pad wear visually. The sensor can be removed or tied back out of the way.
