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. |

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.
