Carbotech XP Breakpads

Anyone here using Carbotech XP 10 or 20's for daily use after track days? Trying to figure out if I should buy another set of stock pads or keep these.

I don't daily the car, this is a Weekender M2.

I ran a set of XP12's on my 2011 EVO X and that was also a street driven car.

They were fine for both street and track and are rotor friendly when the pads are cold..

My track pads are XP12s, I've been too lazy to change them since I last went to the track and have been driving with them. They're fine, but they're a bit noisy, I've mostly gotten used to it, but I'm sure people look at me when I pull up to a stop with my brakes squealing. Also, every once and a while, the additional initial bite catches me off guard and I send my wife into the dash, so she's not always a big fan

You will have to live with the noise, which can be quite ear piercing though. They are a good pad, but they only last 3 track days or so, and are very loud on the street.

In comparison PFC08 will last 3-4 times as long, but are even louder on the street.
