CL RC6 Or XP10

[kaveney]

I will need to look to replace the pads on my MR2 Roadster track car after my next track day at Castle Combe on the 23/07/18 so am just thinking what will be the best option .

The car has EBC Yellow stuff pads an they were great at Brands Hatch and are not that expensive and stop the car well ( car is 900 Kg now )

I am looking for something a little better for feel , stopping power and were rate and the car is only driven on the road to get to a track ( and the Nurburgring )

After much reading I think the two below will be my best options .

I can get the Carbon Lorrain RC6 pads front and rear for £ 352 or the Carbotech XP10 come in at £ 433 .

Is there much difference between the two and do people have any thoughts if they have used any of them ?

Regards

The car is only 900 Kg but is only for track so would the XP10 not be better than the XP8 or is it to do with the weight of the car as well ?

I would go Carbotech everytime. Are you sure you need the XP10, I would have thought the XP8 would be ok for the weight of an MR2, unless you are putting out monster power??

I had CL5 on my old track car and they were great but I have herd that they are not great if driving all year round on the road and track .

Having just removed Carbone Lorraine pads from my VX220, I'd never ever trust them - the pad had broken free of the backing plate because of, I assume, corrosion. Apparently only a problem on CL5 pads, but confidence destroying nonetheless.
