Carbotech offers their Panther Plus compound which is the next step up from the Bobcat.
They are however dusty and noisy, and not really a street pad, but more of a light duty track pad.
I don't recommend them on the street unless you're hard of hearing and have black wheels.

You don't have them listed on your site to order. How much $ ? They come with the proper clip correct?
I ordered Bobcats from you last year to use for a track day. I ended up using them on the street for a while, they made a little noise, not too bad.
Figured I needed something a little more aggressive for the track. So I tried the HP Plus last weekend with great results.

We don't list any of the race pads on the website since we don't normally stock them. They're all accessible to us however, and do indeed come with the proper clips. We have separate applications for the S4 and A6 style clips.
In order from least aggressive to most.
P+ - $146.95
XP8 - $159.95
XP10 - $175.95
Can take up to a week to produce for shipping.
Thanks

A rivet has to extend past the backing plate into the pad material before it can be squeezed and spread out... which means drilling into the pad material. And then what does it do to the pad material once it starts to spread out ? It's gonna put pressure on the pad material and possibly loosen it from the backing plate ?
