CarboTech Pads (where to buy?)

No_Dominion · 06-24-2016, 04:13 AM

Anyone have a solid recommendation for where to purchase front and rear CarboTech pads for the Z4M?

I'm looking to get the XP10 front and XP8 rear. According to the CarboTech site, these would be the CT946 for the front and CT683 for the rear. I checked out bimmerworld, but they apparently only offer the front pads, and for some reason they had the front pads listed as 947 instead of 946.

If the pads were cheaper, I'd be willing to just pull the trigger on a random site and hope for the best, but at $400 for front/rear, I'd rather be more comfortable and see if anyone has ordered these successfully from another site.

Thanks ahead of time for any help you can provide.

$400 for front AND rear? That's a pretty good deal. I get "industry friendly" discounts on stuff and I still had to pay well over $500 for a set of Performance Friction pads front and rear. The only thing I can find that would even remotely approach that price ($400 for front and rear for race compounds) is I can probably get front and rear Hawk DTC-60 for about $380.

Alright, I'll contact the, directly. Probably easier that way, anyway.

Yeah, the fronts for XP10 are around 220 and the rear in XP8 are around 180. Not bad, considering the performance they offer, apparently.

KNS has the Carbotech pads for the Z4M. ( E46 M3 w/Competition package).
I'v done business with them in the past, Owner Ken is very helpful.
