thanks for input Ian! I tried the MTEC's this year, with Performance Friction 08 pads (since being a long-time user of Carbotech XP8 + 3Gdisc's). Just one long heavy trackday, but the disc's seem ok and the pads were on par - if not slightly better - than the XP8's. The big difference were the Massive Sqeel... Even on track!! Never got that with the Carbotech's. I suppose you could call it racey..

No worries The PF 08 pads are a step up from the XP8 and more like our XP10/XP12 in terms of bite and performance, its actually good to hear you didnt notice a huge difference over the XP8 and the PF08, just goes to show how versatile those are Ian

Hi guys. Hope you're all well. Thread resurrection! I too have experienced the XP8/MTec combo issue. The MTec discs are completely shot within a year and probably around 8k miles. Proving they're not man enough to stand up to the XP8s. I've had a chat to Ian in regards to which discs to replace the MTecs with and he was very helpful by suggesting Brembo/Brembo HCs. I've found these these, will they suffice? And these are they the same? I can't find the Brembo HC's though. Anybody know where to get them from? I was just after a bit more info from people out there that have had this issue. Which discs have you successfully run XP8s with? I want to get this right - I can't afford to be replacing discs every year! Thanks!

I've had 3G disc's with my XP8, worked very well. But they seem hard to get nowadays? Thank Per. Did the pads wear out before the discs??

I use Carbon Lorraine pads for my track day Coupe, they destroyed MTEC discs after one day. They ended up with mutiple cracks in them. I use standard Pagid discs now, they are much better lasting.
