Nick: I'm using Carbotech's new Panther Plus on the front of my TR4A. So
far I've done 3 SCCA vintage events (2 days each) with little apparent wear
to either pads or rotors. I have the Kelated Metallic on the rear. The
compound selection was made after a lengthy discussion with Larry at
Carbotech.
Cheers, Don
