Rear brake pads, 3.0 base

[FLtrackdays]

Maybe it’s different in the Supra? But was always taught buy the best pad you can afford and standard, non corrosive vented rotor ?‍ Ditto on no slots or drilled.

Ive been running Carbotech XP20 for my base 3.0 and theyre working great. I used XP20 for the front and rear last year but switched to CSG fronts and kept the rear Carbotechs. I dont feel any odd imbalance under braking and the wear rate has been stellar. I just need a good front rotor replacement source.

The rear brakes get a bit more use from TC kicking in, so you won't have that issue with the nannies off.

This whole season I tracked with TC one click off, not fully off and using Project Mu Club Racers I am still on the same set of rear pads after 20 track days and halfway through my second set of front pads.

I think if someone doesn't drive like an ape, you won't see much heightened wear with the rear pads.

We apes find this offensive. Burnouts are a form of cultural expression

LOL. I meant on track just throwing it around and wondering why traction control is constantly intervening.

Where did you find them? I've searched for carboTech and G-Lock and found nothing. I would like to run the XP-10 (IIRC) on the rear.

I also run 1 click off, not fully off, and noticed that the rears haven't worn anywhere near as fast. Gotta double check on how the wear rate for the MX72s are, but they still feel good after 4 track days and 8k miles this year.

From the carbotech site:

I have an email out to them asking them if non-performance means base model. I was hoping that would be the case.

Taction control absolutely destroys brake pads, so I'm not surprised.

I'm assuming that is the case because they are the same pads in each view, just different part #'s. So it's not just non performance vs performance pad compounds.

This was the part number via invoice for the xp20 rear for the base brakes for reference

Thanks! I should be able to find the compound I want based on that. ??

Thanks to @Afterfire and @razorlab, I finally found pads for the base model. Carbotech has them, which is my favorite pad anyway.
CT78772-RNP-
Then follow up with the pad compound you want. I.E.:
CT78772-RNP-xp10
CT78772-RNP-xp20
Etc

Thanks to Afterfire for the breakthrough!

I think you might be wrong. The RNP is for the base rear brakes “NP” is non-performance according to the site and what @Afterfire has on his invoice. Also check out my screenshot.
