So, has anyone else used this endurance compound available from carbotech? I know Wayne St had them on at TWS. I'm thinking of trying something that lasts a bit longer and has great heat resistance, even though I already have Blaine ducts. They cost a bit more than the XP10's I run in the front now. Some of the info I've read is an estimate of 40% longer pad life, if you believe that.
Just evaluating my options
Carbotech™ RP2™
The RP2™ compound was engineered for endurance racing based on our highly successful XP™ Series formulations. RP2™ is our longest lasting compound that we offer. RP2™ has strong initial bite, a little less modulation than our XP12, but still maintains the rotor friendliness of our XP™ series compounds. With a good initial bite and one of the most consistent torque curves in the market the RP2™ compound is easy to keep a consistent bite and torque throughout the braking zone. Great fade resistance with a temperature range of 250°F to 1650°F+ (121°C to 898°C). RP2™ is as rotor friendly as our XP™ series compounds. Carbotech™ RP2™ is NOT recommended for use as a daily driven street pad due to possible elevated levels of dust and noise.
