All Carbotech pads will accommodate the wear sensors.
Do you really need a Big Brake Kit for your MINI? At AutoXCooper.com we don’t think you do. You do need BBP, Better Brake Pads, Carbotech is that pad. The Bobcat is a great pad for the street and AutoX. If you are going to the track you may want to step up to the Carbotech track pads. Just drop us an email with your needs and we will recommend pads that really meet your needs.
Taking Ultimate Performance to the Streets
Carbotech brakes deliver longer brake pad and rotor life - up to four times longer than competitive brakes. We use custom compounds to match specific cars, driving styles and applications. From street use to the higher performance demands of track days, we'll help you achieve better brake modulation, torque and fade resistance. High-tech construction means better stopping power and a higher level of driver confidence every time you get behind the wheel. Take your performance experience to the next level with Carbotech performance brakes. You'll really feel the difference. We offer a number of solutions for both domestic and foreign vehicles including SUV's and trucks.
Equip the vehicle you love with track-savvy, rotor-friendly brakes.
When you want more performance from your street car, you need to consider Carbotech performance brakes. Our unique Ceramic and Metallic formulation provides positive, sure-footed stopping power. And since Carbotech brake pads don’t use conventional carbon and iron construction, there’s less wear and tear on the rotors—which can save you big bucks down the road. Our line of performance brake pads are so durable, Carbotech has been selected as the Official Brake of the United States Endurance Racing Association.
Track Days
If you like to take your high-performance car out to the track for a “Track Day” event, Carbotech brakes will easily handle the additional stress of racing. In fact, more and more professional racers are specifying our brakes by name, because they’ve discovered the difference Carbotech makes on the track, where it counts. Also, more and more tuners are selecting Carbotech brakes for their domestic street rockets, to make sure they have the positive stopping power and cornering control they require. Carbotech brakes offer superior performance, are rotor-friendly, and last longer than any other performance brake pads on the market. That’s a combination that’s tough to beat.
Carbotech Brakes... Innovations in Braking Technology
Carbotech performance brakes feature a unique brake pad technology that is now being used by pro racers, club racers, tuners, and law enforcement agencies across the country. Carbotech brakes utilize a ceramic and metallic construction in a range of compounds that out-perform competitive brakes. Carbotech brakes are made from compounds that offer higher initial bite, torque and fade resistance—providing consistent brake modulation and performance over a wide range of operating temperatures. In addition, Carbotech brakes are rotor friendly, saving money and keeping your vehicle out of the service shop far longer than the competition.
Please see below link for much more info. We look forward to helping you pick just the right pads for your driving needs and style.

Called up Carbotech a couple of weeks ago and ordered a set of the new version Bobcats for my R56. (They gave me a 10% discount through the vette forum.) This is my 61st car/truck/motorcycle, and I've used about every brand of brake pad out there (EBC, Hawks, Axxis, Mintex, etc. etc.) I was sick and tired of having to clean my flame spoked every two days and had heard good things about these.
I have to say, unequivocally, that these are the best pads I've ever used. I had about 1900 miles on the car, so the rotors were pretty new, so I just slapped them in and bedded them. They are very smooth, even on the JCW rotors, and quiet. The bite and stopping power are most excellente. But the absolute best thing is that they are SOOOO much cleaner than the stock pads. I put almost 1,000 miles on them last week, including running in the rain, and the wheels still didn't look 1/4 as dirty as the stock pads after 2 days in the dry.
I didn't see many posts reviewing these, so thought I would add here and in the product reviews.
If there is anyone debating whether these are worth the money to quit having to constantly have black wheels, quit thinking about them and order.
You won't regret it.

Pros:
|
AX6 pads - great stopping power
|
|
Cons:
|
still quite a bit of dust and brake squeal
|
|
Helped me greatly in autox. Can go deeper before the turn before getting on the brakes. Much stronger than the stock pads but they do squeal in normal traffic situations. I've tried removing them and applying anti-squeal grease again but that only helped for about 24 hours.
