Have you ever tried Raybestos pads (ST43 or ST45) or better yet, had a chance to compare with them ?
If not, it's well worth to give it a shot, IMO.

Carbotech pads simply cannot keep up with the Raybestos pads when it comes to stopping power, resistance to brake fade, longevity and ability to use on the street due to operating temps

It's good to find something you like, but your enthusiasm is getting the best of you. Especially with comments like the bolded one, which are marketing hyperbole at best. There's no reason to diss one of the best pad brands out there to simply say you like what you run.

Of the Raybestos pads, my favorite is the ST-43, and overall I found it "tolerable" despite its hunger for disc wear. That said, I haven't run it in over a decade, the marketplace and the benchmark has moved onward. Now there are many better pads out there. There are so many Carbotech (now G-Loc) fans because they're actually that good.
