I’m running Carbotech XP10 in my AP’s and the cold squeal is obnoxious. Once they’re really good and hot it goes away but it’s definitely just a trade off of good pads. Mine drag every so slightly when turning the wheel by hand but never enough I’ve been concerned about it. They still work very, very well.

Pros: work very well, squeal goes away when hot
Cons: obnoxious cold squeal, slight drag

I’ve used kits like this before and that one is spot on. I have Brembo discs and pads on my car now, and do notice a bit more bite from the pedal this time, which is amwbag I was looking for. The downside is the brakes need a bit more heat in them before they’re effective, which is not the case with the Sebro/Textar setup.

Pros: more bite from pedal
Cons: needs more heat before effective
Vehicle: Porsche 911

I use carbotech xp10/8. I don't bother to switch. it makes a bit of noise if I street drive it too much but nothing really bad. it beds back in just fine after one or two warm up laps

Pros: beds in easily
Cons: a bit noisy

XP for track use and 1521 for street. No need to rebed pads. Just swap and go. Carbotech says this and I’ve head zero issue myself doing this

Pros: no rebedding needed

Carbotech Brake pads

I just switch between track and OEM pads. I can usually get 4 to 5 tracks days out of the Carbotechs that I run. I drive my car to the track, so by the time I get there the track pads have had plenty of time to make friends with the rotors. Same thing with the OEM pads. It just take a little bit of driving for them to settle in.

Pros: 4-5 track days

Pros: perfectly fine

Used Brembo pads on my 535d, then gave them another try on my i30N. Will never buy again. Suitable only for casual, calm driving around the city. Overheat very easily, overall stopping performance got worse, brake pedal feeling became harder.

Cons: overheat easily, worse performance
