Hello-

One potential problem with carbon/kevlar pads...

At least in my very limited experience with them (i.e. only one car... VW T3 w/ 944 na setup), when they are wet, watch out!!! You go to hit the brakes, and you'd swear that they were gone. Then, about ~1 second later, they're "dry" and you are okay. But, 1 second of braking, if you aren't prepared for it, can be disasterous.

This is based on my limited experience with them. YMMV.

Take care,
