I mentioned that a few pages back. This needs to stay on the dl, because other vendors will start complaining to Porterfield/Raybesto, and they will enforce the competition contract.

Props to Pete for finding the deal! Don't know how you find these obscure sites!

sweet, but i'm still going to wait till you get your pads and see if they are real


also, on Raybestos website, they have same part number for both evo and sti pads. but Carbotech have different part number for evo and sti. so i think that Raybestos went cheap and made the pads thin to fit both cars to keep inventory down. we need measurement of new Carbo pads vs. Raybestos pads to confirm this.

he is the deal master, next to Chu.

I would go so far as saying go back and edit all the posts that reference this deal (vendor name, number and the whole nine). lets keep this between us.

THat may be true Thai. Marc, could you chime in with your experience on pad thickness from Carbo. I remember Dan saying the pads for his car was really tight fitting. Does Carbos comes slightly thicker than the stock size? Which is an added benefit.

Someone take a chance and get ST45s or 47s, if they are the same price, so we have a clue as to the difference. Anyone buying multiple sets should consider this for the benefit of the group.

I wish I had that measurement handy but I don't. I did ask the daminal to measure his new carbo pads. His ***** is exactly 15mm long when errect, so that will be a good gauge for whether its bigger or smaller.

Think it would look suspicious if I called and order 5 sets? lol, j/k

I would so jump on these if I didn't have the RB BBK on my car.
