racing brake says "no" on Carbotechs for their CGI rotors:

edit: It reads like they're saying "no" to carbotech street pads. I don't really care what they say, but ran across this today and remembered this thread.
I also like:
I've made rotors look like this with Hawk DTC-30 as of late, several other pads throughout the years.

Hmmm... 
I really hate complications. I like how they also offer suggestion of what pad TO use. 
Well if Carbotech isn't a suitable "race" pad, what is? I really don't want anything too aggressive though since it will be more street car than track car. Maybe I would be better off using another manufacturers rotors with the Carbotechs.

Carbotech seems to be the only manufacturer who feels the need to charge more for Dynalite pads than OE shapes.

Being as it's mostly a street car, I'm more concerned with the claim of the brakes being catchy. I don't want to drive around with the brakes being jerky, popping at low speeds and being unpredictable just cruising around town. I can't imagine that being a problem though, their claim still makes no sense to me. I'm still not sure as to whether to do the XP8 or 10, probably 8's for a good balance.

Ignore everything in that page, none of it is true or correct, I get NONE of those issues. There is no driveability difference between stock Corrado rotors and the RB rotors.

Was gonna do anyway, but will do. It's not like I will even notice these problems. At this rate I will never get my car to run right n/a let alone boosted. It's a never ending stream of **** that keeps pushing my build further and further back. Just like last time I had money to do the build. I kept getting held off by little annoyances. Lost money and it all worked decently well. Get some money again and it all starts back up literally within days of getting my job back.

For now it will just be the RB Corrado rotors front, RB stock size Miata rears, XP8's, some braided lines and a prop valve. That should be more than enough for me for now. When I feel I need more, the Wilwoods are only a hop skip and a $600 away.
