Carbotech Performance Brake Pads — Canada
Priced in CAD • No duties • No brokerage fees • Fast shipping across Canada
Carbotech is an American brake pad manufacturer producing high-performance friction compounds for street performance, track days, and competition use. Their XP8, XP10, and XP12 compounds are engineered for progressively more aggressive use — XP8 for street and occasional track use, XP10 for dedicated track days, XP12 for endurance racing. At MyPartsGuy.ca we carry the Carbotech lineup, all priced in Canadian dollars with no import fees or brokerage charges.
Carbotech pads are particularly popular in the Canadian track day community — their compounds offer excellent modulation, low dust, and consistent feel from cold to race temperatures, which matters enormously when transitioning from a cold Ontario morning to a hot track afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Carbotech XP8 vs XP10 — which should I choose?
XP8 is Carbotech's street and occasional track compound — excellent cold bite, low dust, and comfortable for daily driving. XP10 is their dedicated track compound — higher heat resistance, better fade resistance under sustained braking, but requires more warm-up to reach optimal operating temperature. For Canadian enthusiasts who drive to the track and back, XP8 on the street axles and XP10 on the front is a popular combination. For dedicated track-only use, XP10 front and rear.
Are Carbotech pads hard on rotors?
Carbotech's street compounds (XP8) are designed to be rotor-friendly — lower rotor wear than many aggressive compounds at comparable performance levels. Their track compounds (XP10, XP12) are harder on rotors by nature of the higher-temperature friction materials. Pair track compounds with quality rotors — DBA, StopTech, or Brembo — and inspect regularly.
