Anyone has heard of them and had experience of their products especially the 1521 aka Bobcat.

I know of them, however we've never tried them on any of our cars.

Frankly, we have been just more than pleased with OEM Porsche street pads for later model cars and Pagid's for track use, without much incentive to do anything different.

No personal experience, but they seemed very well liked amongst the open trackers in my former non-Porsche camp. Bobcats are their street-oriented pad if I am not mistaken, about the same level as Hawk HPS, etc.

Heard they are pretty good and just would like to find out if it is truth.

Terence,

Like anything else, the only way YOU will really know is if you try them for yourself to see how they compare to what you are currently using.

Very true, so I just placed an order for a set of bobcat...

I have used Carbotech pads on my non-Porsche's for years and have been very pleased. I run the 1521's on my Infiniti Q45 and XP10's on my Spec Miata at the track. I find they perform well and are very easy on the rotors. The 1521's are a street pad and don't have a ton of initial bite, but are low noise, low dust and very easy on rotors. The track pads are also easy on rotors, but high dust of course.

I've not tried a set on a Porsche though. You'll have to let us know what you think.

I've used Carbotech autocross pads on the back of my MR2 and have driven several other cars with Carbotechs. They are an excellent product for the specific application and the guy who runs the company (Larry?) is sort of like Steve W.here - a great source of info and a good guy to talk to.

It's been a while, about 10 years, so this info might be dated.

I did some search on web and 9 out 10 are given positive comments. Just curious why not so many ppl has heard of them in the states.

Terence, they are actually a pretty small company with very... sort of word of mouth advertising and a one-guy owner who's more interested in talking to folks and discussing things than being a big company. Which is a good thing in my opinion.

Guess that what we need, good people with knowledge and passion. Two thumbs up for them!

I have used Carbotech as track pads on my SCed S2000 for years. Never had an issue and they work GREAT!!
