String Theory Garage will be closed to the public from Wednesday, 29th July to Thursday, 6th August for our annual shutdown.

Thank you for your understanding, String Theory Garage Team
Carbotech XP8™ Rear Performance Brake Pads – Toyota GR Yaris
Step into true motorsport braking performance with the Carbotech XP8™, the compound that launched the legendary Carbotech™ racing series. Engineered for drivers who demand exceptional control and durability, the XP8™ delivers high torque, excellent modulation, and consistent performance across a broad temperature range of 200°F to 1350°F+ (93°C to 732°C+).
With strong initial bite and a high coefficient of friction, the XP8™ provides outstanding stopping power and fade resistance, even under intense track conditions. It’s also rotor-friendly and versatile — ideal as a front pad for lighter vehicles (≈2,400 lbs / 1088 kg or less) or as a rear pad for open-wheel and sports racers.
Perfect for track day enthusiasts, the XP8™ maintains confidence and consistency lap after lap, and can even be driven safely to and from the circuit when needed.
Note: The Carbotech XP8™ is not recommended for daily street use due to higher dust and noise levels.
