I tried sanding them and the material came away in chunks.

We tried it and in one session we knew it was not a compound made to work at race temperatures. Therefore, we went around the seller and we tracked down the company doing the relining for the seller . The shop owner was really nice on the phone and they have confirmed what we thought in a test. The lining that is being used is NOT FOR RACING PURPOSES. It is a Cool-stop lining designed for street car use only. The compound that is being misrepresented is made to work well at low temps. That was a disappointing waste of $150 and a brake job……We ran them one weekend took them off. Now the backing plates will now be sent for a proper race lining. <br><br>Paul<br><br><br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>On Jul 25, 2019, at 5:05 PM, Dave Hogye via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br><br>Here are two different sets of CarboTech pads.
