Default Carbotech Xp12/10 + Endless RF-650 review - Get them!

For anyone who is looking for a brake upgrade for the track, definitely get the Carbotechs. So impressed I can't even describe. My wallowy, pudding of a machine that Chrysler shaped to look like a sports car can actually brake with the best out there... repeatedly! I love this car for a lot or reasons (11 yr owner), but being a great sports car isn't one of them. With this upgrade, going into corners was a test of my bravery more than the ability of the car. Truthfully, I wouldn't bother with a big brake kit at all unless I gained 150+ horse or started running slicks.

Here's my setup:
Carbotech XP12 up front
XP10 in the rear
Stock size dimpled and slotted front rotors (IIRC PowerStop?)
Ate spiral slotted rear rotors
Endless RF-650 fluid
Stock everything else
Bridgestone RE760s for anyone who is curious. 225 up front, 275 rear

I simply could not fade this combo. Did 30 continuous laps on a heavy braking course. The pedal didn't get softer in the slightest when up to temp. Overall, they're actually not too noisy either. Never silent, and will squeal when a certain amount of pressure is applied, but nowhere near as bad as EBC Yellowstuff. Long story short, there is really no need for a BBK IMHO unless you have an SRT-6/engine swap, or are trying to fill your 22s for cosmetic reasons. Heading back to the track tomorrow, so I'll update if I have any more info
