Hi so I plan to run the S2k challenge in April and i wanted some advice on pads. I was going to go with Carbotechs like everyone else but their price along with needing to get new rotors is too high for me. It's going to cost me around$600-$700 with a rbf600 flush.
Do you guys have any suggestions on maybe cheaper pads that will get the job done and that do not require me to use fresh rotors?

Thanks in advance

you dont need fresh rotors. the carbos will scrape off the old pad material just fine. pads and fluid is all you should need

I got a set of XP 10/8 and TWO full sets of Centric rotors shipped to my door for ~$600 ish, IIRC.

was this from carbotech directly? I haven't called them but i priced it out at 949racing and it was $698~ish i believe. and only one set of rotors. is carbotech direct that much cheaper?

also is it true i can just used my current rotors?

Carbotech recommends new rotors with new pads, but you don't have to. You could get them resurfaced. Just make sure you still have some good thickness left in the rotors otherwise they will be more prone to cracking.

I got some xp12 fronts and xp10 rears for this season. Can't wait to compare to the xp10/xp8 combo.

has anyone tried runinign XP8/10 fronts with stock rears?

Racing pads in the front and stock in the back? You will over work the front pad and cause them to over heat.

You can get a set of rotors by walnut grove in rosemead for $60 bucks a set. E-autoparts.

That's a good deal.
