Brake Compounds
Carbotechâ 1521â
The Carbotechâ 1521â is our high performance street compound. The 1521â compound is known for its release and modulation, along with unmatched rotor friendliness. 1521â is also a very low dusting and low noise compound with an excellent initial bite. This compound's excellent linear torque production provides incredible braking force without ABS intervention. Carbotechâ 1521â operating range starts out at ambient and goes up to 800 F (426 C+). 1521â is suitable for ALL street cars, perfect for your tow vehicle or fleet vehicle. Carbotechâ 1521â is NOT recommended for ANY track use.
Carbotechâ AX6â
The AX6â is specifically engineered for Autocross applications. A high torque brake compound delivering reliable and consistent performance over a very wide operating temperature range of 50 F to 1000 F + (10 C to 537 C+). The advanced compound matrix provides an excellent initial bite, high coefficient of friction at lower temperatures along with very progressive brake modulation and release characteristics. Many drivers use the AX6â for street driving as well, even though Carbotechâ doesn't recommend street driving with AX6â due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise. AX6â is NOT recommended as a race compound in most applications.
Carbotechâ XP8â
A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200 F-1250 F+ (93 C to 676 C+). Carbotechâ XP8â is the first of our racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotechâ does NOT recommended XP8â as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotechâ XP8â is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.
Carbotechâ XP10â
When Carbotechâ unleashed the XP10â to the general public it immediately gathered multiple regional, divisional, and national championships. The XP10â has a very strong initial bite with a coefficient of friction and rotor friendliness unmatched in the industry. Fade resistance is in excess of 1475 F (801 C). XP10â still maintains the highly praised release, excellent modulation and rotor friendliness that have made all Carbotechâ compounds so successful. Carbotechâ XP10â is not recommended as a daily-driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
Carbotechâ XP12â
Another highly successful XPâ series compound with an excellent initial bite, torque and fade resistance over and above the XP10â compound. XP12â has temperature range of 250 F to 1850 F+ (121 C to 1010 C+). The XP12â has that excellent Carbotechâ release and modulation that has made all other Carbotechâ compounds so successful. The XP12â is more rotor aggressive than XP10â , but compared to the competition the XP12â is still very rotor friendly. XP12â is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
Carbotechâ XP20â
The latest iteration of the highly successful XPâ series of compounds. XP20â is a step up from the highly successful XP16â compound. With an extremely aggressive initial bite, linear torque curve and excellent fade resistance the XP20â is another major step in progression of the highly successful XPâ series line of compounds from Carbotechâ . XP20â has a temperature range of 275 F to 2000 F+ (135 C to 1093 C+). Carbotechâ XP20â maintains our tradition of having the outstanding release and modulation that has made all other Carbotechâ compounds so successful. Carbotechâ XP20â is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
Carbotechâ XP24â
XP24â is the pinnacle compound of the extremely successful XPâ Series of compounds engineered by Carbotechâ . This compound is based on the same fundamentals that exist in all other Carbotechâ formulations. XP24â has even more initial bite, more overall bite, and more torque along with the most linear torque curve we have ever offered. The thermal characteristics are of the highest Carbotechâ offers along with one of the highest coefficient of friction ratings offered by anyone in the braking industry. This compound is the longest wearing compound Carbotechâ offers as it was originally engineered for endurance applications at the highest pro racing levels. This revolutionary new compound has been extremely successful with open wheel, closed wheel, sprint and endurance applications. XP24â has a temperature range of 400 F to 2000 F+ (204 C to 1093 C+). Carbotechâ XP24â is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise along with the necessary heat required to work properly.
Carbotechâ RP2â
The RP2â compound was engineered for endurance racing based on our highly successful XPâ Series formulations. RP2â has strong initial bite, a little less modulation than our XP12â , but still maintains the rotor friendliness of our XPâ series compounds. RP2â has great fade resistance with a temperature range of 250 F to 1450 F+ (121 C to 787 C). RP2â is as rotor friendly as our XPâ series compounds. Carbotechâ RP2â is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
Carbotechâ 913 Kelated Metallicâ
A D.O.T.-approved high-performance compound for brake shoes on high performance street vehicles and race cars. Carbotechâ Kelated Metallic (CKM) achieves a very high coefficient of friction (approx. 0.48 to 0.50) by taking advantage of a chemical reaction within the friction mass, which creates a tri-alloy metallic film at the liner/drum interface when subjected to heat and pressure. Designed to overcome the shortcomings of other liner materials, CKM is a very versatile and provides excellent braking performance in a wide variety of applications. Excellent wear characteristics and a very high resistance to lock-up under hard braking. Optimal recommended operating temperature range is from ambient to 750 F.

Girodisc
C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A1-319 Front Brake Rotors (OEM Steel Rotors)
$1,550.00
C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A1-319 Front Brake Rotors (OEM Steel Rotors)
Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 Front with Factory Cast Iron Rotors
For the Corvette C8 Z06 with factory Z07 carbon ceramic rotors, see Girodisc A1-320.
This Girodisc two-piece floating rotor system is a direct replacement for the OEM cast iron brake rotors on the C8 Z06 Corvette. The Girodisc two-piece rotors will bolt directly to the C8 Z06 and work perfectly with OEM calipers. By upgrading your C8 Z06 brakes to these lightweight, high-performance replacements -- as opposed to a big brake kit -- your factory brake bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. These Girodisc rotors are lighter than OEM pieces, reducing rotational and unsprung mass for quicker acceleration, sharper suspension response, and better brake feel.
When used with Pagid or PFC high-performance brake pads and RF1 racing brake fluid, this Girodisc rotor system gives you an amazing solution to overheating, cracking and warping rotors.
The central hat section of the disc is made from 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The rotor itself is manufactured from a proprietary cast iron, domestically sourced and made to the same specification used by professional racing organizations. The rotor's curved vane design was developed in racing and acts as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc.
The rotor and hat are joined by a floating mount system utilizing 8-10 high strength alloy steel drive pins manufactured by Girodisc in-house, then cadmium plated for corrosion resistance. The alloy drive pins transfer breaking load while maintaining axial and radial float between the disc rotor and hat. The pins are secured by Grade-12 cap screws and hardened washers, mounted with anti-noise spring washers to allow for heat expansion while eliminating the rattle and noise typically associated with floating rotors.
The two-piece Girodisc design allows for rotor-ring replacement as well, minimizing future replacement costs while delivering outstanding performance and cooling.
Priced/sold per pair.

Girodisc
C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A2-319 Rear Rotors (for OEM Steel & Z07 CCB)
$1,550.00
C8 Corvette Z06 Girodisc A2-319 Rear Rotors (for OEM Steel & Z07 CCB)
Fitment: Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06
This Girodisc two-piece rotor set is a direct replacement for the rear rotors on the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 with either the factory cast iron rotors or the Z07 carbon ceramic rotors1. Girodisc two-piece, fully floating rotor assemblies help shed unsprung weight and rotating mass from the front axle of the C8 Z06 with iron rotors, while being far more durable in track use than the fragile and very expensive Z07 carbon ceramic rotors.
American Made With Specially Formulated Materials
Girodisc rotor rings are machined from a proprietary casting made of high-carbon steel formulated to Girodisc’s specifications. This superior metallurgy results in a rotor that holds up better, and the 72 curved vanes act as a centrifugal pump pulling air in through the hub to effectively cool the rotors under hard use. The two-piece design means the reusable hat which can be attached to new rotor rings (part number D2-319) when the latter need to be replaced.
All major components including the hats, rotor rings, and drive pins are manufactured in-house at the Girodisc facility in Bellingham, WA, from domestically-sourced materials. The hat is made from 6061-T6 aluminum and coated in a black anodized finish. The drive pins are made from a high-strength steel alloy and cadmium-plated for corrosion resistance. All rotors are assembled with spring clips and Belleville washers for race-ready float while also being street-friendly with no noise from loose hardware.
The minimum thickness at which we recommend replacing these rings is 32mm. We also recommend replacing them if a crack leads to the edge of the ring.
Sold and priced per pair.
1 Note: when replacing factory Z07 carbon ceramic rotors with this Girodisc iron rotor kit, you will need to choose a rear brake pad shape for the factory iron-rotor C8 Z06. If you would like help choosing rear pads, give us a call at (888) 748-7223 any time!

Ferodo DS3.12 Brake Compound Details:
The Ferodo DS3.12 is a track only compound with the flattest torque curve across the largest temperature range with very high torque. The Ferodo DS3.12 is identified with production code "G" and is the latest evolution in the Ferodo's DS track-only brake pad line. Designed for Hyper, Super and modern sports cars that have increased horsepower, more aero, higher curb weight, and stickier tires.These attributes all place greater demands on the vehicle’s ABS system.
The Ferodo DS3.12 is the modern pad compound designed from the start to explicitly handle those demands. Out of all the pad compounds we have ever tested, even from manufacturers, the DS3.12 shows the flattest torque curve across the broadest temperature range. That means that on every turn, on every track you drive, on every lap, your brake pedal is going to feel almost exactly the same, providing tremendous consistency and repeatability.
The DS3.12 has a higher mu than all of Ferodo’s other compounds, so not as much leg pressure is required to initiate the desired response. It is also unfadable, showing no drop in performance at any temp your brakes will ever see. In dyno testing, the DS3.12 has shown superior wear rates to the other Ferodo compounds, while remaining kind to the discs. We believe the DS3.12 will become the gold standard to which other race compounds will be compared.
