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

Carbotech Brake pads

I've been to 20 track events to this day I'm still running OEM calipers. Just carbotech pads. You don't need a big brake kit at all. The oem cracks because of improper cooldown. I learned that after a session to take my cooldown lap seriously and ever since then i stopped cracking AutoZone rotors

Pros: no need for BBK, stopped cracking rotors
Vehicle: Honda S2000

I’ve been told by some very experienced S2000 drivers that this is the best braking setup outside of a BBK. It’s streetable as well, if you don’t mind a bit squeaking. Make sure to burnish/bed the pads in beforehand for better performance.

Pros: best braking setup, streetable
Cons: a bit squeaking

I ran stock rotors for a long time with carbotech xp10/8, front brake ducts, stainless lines, and Motul 660. The XP10/8 + ducts was sufficient for 20min session the tracks I drive.

Pros: sufficient for track sessions

I'm using carbotech xp8 on my 3800 pound sedan. They've survived 6 days at the track plus occasional driving around town for a year.

Pros: survived 6 days at track

Hey, I track. MK7.5! The floating calipers flex which means you get more pressure on the outer half of the rotor. It's annoying but it's not a problem in my experience.

Something like a Carbotech XP12 pad might do better with the heat but adding brake ducts from the RS3 is cheap and will help quite a bit.

Girodisc should have a 357mm disc available when you've gone through the OE rotors. They're slotted instead of drilled and are 2 piece (aluminum hat).

Pros: good heat performance
Cons: caliper flex

I am currently using Carbotech XP10's in front and the XP8's for the rears. I really like them and have not had an issue so far. Plus the company has great customer service. They are definitely NOT a street pad, and I need to swap them the night before a track meet and put street pads on the day after, but the effort is worth it.

Pros: good bite, great service
Cons: not a street pad
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Over 25 track days I tried : RBF600 + stock pads -> Failed

RBF600 + powerstop -> Failed

Endless + Carbotech xp12 -> Great but wore off quick

Endless + CSG -> less bite but much more durable

Pros: great performance
Cons: wore off quick, less bite
