I know that a lot of you use the racing Carbotech pads, and was wondering if anyone is using their street compound called Bobcat 1521? I found several good reviews of this pad, but none on a Porsche forum. Has anyone used it?

I used them on my former WRX. They were the worst fitment I have ever had of brake pads. The backing plates were made with horrible stamping equipment with a very poor finish and pad surfacing. I spent more time filing, shaping, and scraping off the uneven paint on the backing plate to get them to fit the calipers than getting them on the car. The pad thickness was also thicker than stock, so I had to install them without the noise reduction shims. In a word, they are sloppy.

I wouldn't buy another set for any car.
