Carbotech 1521 Front Pads - F22 228i 230i, F3X 320i 328i 330i 428i 430i

Fitment Note: These pads are for very specific trim packages! These fit Base, Luxury, Sport, and M Sport packages with "regular" single-piston calipers. These will not fit the larger 4-piston Brembo calipers found on some other trim packages. Applications can be confusing, especially on F30/F32 models so contact us directly if you have any questions. For more info on the various M Sport packages and brakes, check out our F22/F30/F32 Brake Specs page by clicking here.

Carbotech 1521 Performance Street 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 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, of every autocross run.

The 1521 pad is a high performance pad for aggressive street use. It has higher coefficient of friction levels than stock pads for much better stopping power on the street.

The 1521 is for street use only. More aggressive pads are the AX6 (autocross) and the XP line (dedicated track use).

Carbotech 1521 Features:

• Smooth modulation and release
• Unmatched rotor friendliness
• Very low dust and noise- approximately 70% reduction from stock pads!
• Excellent initial bite
• Linear torque without engaging ABS
• Operating range from ambient to 800°F

NOTE: 1521 is NOT a race compound, and should not be used as such. 1521 shouldn't be used by any intermediate or advanced track day drivers, and should not be used with R-compound tires (racing tires). Cars in excess of 300 Hp or 3,000 lbs should not use 1521 for any autocross or track use.

Made in the USA.
