Dee,
I have been running Carbon-Kevlar lining on the 120 for three seasons
(Blackhawk three weekends, Raod America two, Gratton one, IRP one) and they
have been most satisfactory. They wear like iron! I still have half the
original thickness left and I use them hard (drums all around). They will
fade, a hard pedal and not much whoa in five or twelve at Road America can
be exciting! The fade problem is much less than with any other linings I
have used. No unusual wear on the drums either. I would heartily endorse them.
