Yes you can use the stock pads and than you for your order.
Also the testing of the Carbotech XP8 pads is going well, they are noisy however. They stop like they should though, its only and lower speeds that the noise gets to you. I might need to test some of the milder pads to reduce the noise.

I did get an update from RB on the rears. The schedule has slipped into Sept on the rear hats. The rear rings are in so its just the hats that are still stuck in manufacturing. I am trying to get these in as soon as we can, I am as anxious as the rest of you. As soon as I get a date I will let you know. Sorry its taken longer then promised.
Mike

Latest update guys. Rear rotor hat production took longer than we thought but we are hoping to have them this week. As soon as I go through the test fitment I will be sended them out the the patient purchasers.
As far as pads go we completed some track testing on the Carbotech XP8 4-corner setup and everything was great on the track. The pads may be a bit too noisey for street use, i might just depend on your tolerance. If I recal they are about the same as stock, perhaps a bit pitchier. But they do fit the bill for a pad you can drive to and from the track and a crazy amount of bite on the street at low temps.

I just gotta say that these rotors look awesome. I can't tell the difference in braking (they were already good), but I can say they sure look nice and the fact the center portion doesn't rust sure looks nice too.
Using stock pads, they don't squeal at all (It's gotten down to the 30s here). So far so good. Only thing I noticed is that the rear rotors don't have the rusty lip/edge because the pads go right to the edge while the front ones I got were the OEM sized ones so there is a little rusty lip/edge.
Not that it matters, but FIGS, did you say the larger ones were thinner and actually a little lighter than the smaller ones? Which ones have you finally settled with? The OEM sized ones or the 5 mm smaller ones?

The smaller rotors are actually thicker by 2mm but they also have a wear in period before you get full contact, so I opted to go with the oe sized fronts and leave the rear as is since there is no wear in to get to full contact patch.
