For my GR86 Carbotech XP10s have been amazing on the track, seriously no complaints at all. The XP10s with Castrol SRF have been a great combo and held up really well even on some really big/high speed tracks. I swap in my OEM pads when I’m not tracking the car for awhile. It’s not great because I have to bed the pads every time I change them. Once I’m through the OEM pads I’m going to get the Carbotech 1521’s for the street, that way like you mentioned I think I can avoid having to avoid bedding my brakes with every change. The XP10’s function well on the street but they feel a little rough if not up to temp and they are insanely loud.

Pros: amazing track performance
Cons: rough, loud, needs bedding
Vehicle: Toyota

I had Carbotech XP12 before and they're were great, but squealed like a pig on the street. I haven't tracked the Dynamic Friction but aggressive street even on V730 & daily driving, they've been great.

Pros: great performance
Cons: squealing on street

I went from EBC to Carbotech. It’s a night and day difference. I’m running XP8, but my car is very light.

Pros: night and day difference

Centric Brake pads

If my customers choose aftermarket, I always get

380mm centric high carbon rotors

Centric posi-quiet ceramic brakes.

The centric rotors are the absolute best bang for your buck.

I find paid results in comebacks, and oddly enough I get a lot of comebacks when I use brembo brake pads and rotors (they are 100% a different formulation than the land rover brembo OEM spec)

Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: comebacks
Vehicle: Land Rover Range Rover Sport

I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.

Pros: ok performance, long lasting
Cons: noisy, grabby at low speed
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: 90944519
