RE: 'Carbon' Brake pads

[Peter Henriksen <peterhe@microsoft.com>]

Here are a few places:

KVR (Canada), 800-636-0854
Weston Motorsports (Cool Carbon dealer), [don't have phone number here]
Carbotech (check out writeup in R&T Tech Tidbits p. 162 in Dec. issue),
(954) 493-9669

I'm getting pads from Carbotech. Hawk Blue pads for track use and
Kelated Metallic for road use (both over the winter as I need to get
backing plates to Larry first. He (and everybody else) doesn't have pads
for the 91 200q UFO brakes). Price will be around $110 for the street
pads and $120 for the track pads (+S&H).
