Carbotech 1521 Performance Street Brake Pads are renowned for their top-tier performance, directly sourced from Carbotech's cutting-edge research and manufacturing facility in Concord, NC, a premier hub for racing technology in the USA.
Carbotech Performance Brakes feature rotor-friendly compounds that prevent grabbing and locking issues, allowing drivers and race cars to perform at their best. They enable deeper braking for those crucial fractions of a second, whether in street driving or autocross.
The 1521 pad is ideal for high-performance street use, offering a higher coefficient of friction compared to stock pads for superior stopping power.
Designed exclusively for street driving, the 1521 is not suited for more aggressive applications. For autocross or track use, consider the AX6 or XP lines.
Carbotech 1521 Features:
- Seamless modulation and release
- Outstanding rotor compatibility
- Minimal dust and noise—about 70% reduction compared to stock pads
- Superior initial bite
- Steady torque without triggering ABS
- Operating temperature range from ambient up to 800°FNOTE: The 1521 is not a racing compound and should not be used in such scenarios. It is not recommended for intermediate or advanced track day drivers and is unsuitable for use with R-compound (racing) tires. Vehicles with over 300 HP or 3,000 lbs should avoid using the 1521 for autocross or track events.
