Carbotech Brake pads

I ran xp10s on a Jetta with no issues. They got really really hot, but no fade or loss of pressure. It was so hot it melted the tabs that held the plastic center cap on my wheel.

Pros: no issues, worked great, no fade or loss of pressure
Cons: got really hot, melted wheel center cap tabs

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 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

OEM BMW Brake pads

OEM BMW Performance. Can’t recommend the brake pads though, dusty as hell. I had Hawk HPS5.0 pads before, those performed better than the OE pads with the added bonus of being very low dust.

Pros: low dust, better performance
Cons: dusty
Vehicle: BMW

I run carbotech xp8 on the front of my c5. Still a group 2 level driver. They’re a good pad for a car that’s driven to the track and home, but dirty and noisy at times for a street pad. They’re considered entry level track pads. I chew up rotors but don’t get fade, but my local tracks aren’t particularly hard on brakes

Pros: good for track and street
Cons: dirty, noisy, chews rotors
