How Should Carbotechs Feel When Hot?
#41
We offer Pre bedded race pads and rotors to our professional teams. but that's not an effort to sell harder pads. their track time is worth more than the extra $40 it costs to pre bed the pads and rotors. they can slap the equipment on and be racing or testing from the moment they leave the pits. normally on PFC it takes till the 3rd turn to bead in.

IMO if you buy a good quality pad and good quality rotor they will bead in with no problem. i had Good wins kit and hawk pads. couldn't get a transfer layer to save my butt. too many contaminants in the pads and rotors. switched over to PFC 01 and PFC rotors on trackspeeds 11.75" kit.. i haven't had the problem since.

You can buy pre-bedded pads straight from Carbotech but you still need to get a good transfer layer on the rotors before going hog wild on them.
A pre-bedded set of pads AND rotors doesn't require that. You can pull them straight out of the packaging, put them on the race car and do a 2.5 hour race.
A lot of pro teams do this because, as OG mentioned, track time is so limited (and expensive) that you don't have time to bed brakes and "scrub" tires, etc etc

No, he said they offer pre-bedded pads AND rotors i.e. a bedded set that have been worked as a pair.

It's throwing cash away for a club racer.. for a pro team each lap could cost 100 bucks if you add in travel, Crew pay, Track rental (remember they rent the entire track for one car). If you have a Good rotor and High quality pad you won't have any issues with keeping or getting a transfer layer.
