Brake pads Carbotech or OEM Hyundai

I run carbotech 12/10 on my C5. Streetable but messy. I only really drive to track, on track, then home. Probably drive 100 street/leisure miles a year, but after 2 track days on this setup (wilwood aero6 in front) I’m very happy with the setup.

I'm liking the Carbotech 1521 pads for their better heat tolerance and modulation over OEM pads, though I feel light initial bite is slightly less.

Low dust brake pads. On my F87, I use Carbotech 1521. Slight decrease in initial brake bite, significant decrease in dust.

I use the XP10s on track. Highly recommend them. Since you don’t even have the Z51, likely the XP10s will be more than enough for you.

I track a WRX and have used XP12's in the front and XP10's in the rear. They work very well. IMO Carbotechs are one of the best for the track

Carbotech and dont look back, many proven won championships and leading modular pedal feel. I run them and love them !

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.

I run carbotechs on my GT350. Multiple weekends on them.

im running XP10s... so far this set up is amazing, the braking is strong initial bite with little fade. Just take in consideration that this Carbotech pads are modular which means you will have a slight longer pedal travel than normal. And yes they are super noisy, when i drive it on the street i try to be careful with my braking and not feather the brakes, that will make then literally screech and grind the rotors, instead i try to brake a bit harder than usual to get a good bite and then let go of the brake once i stoped (put the car in neutral most of the time or creep forward little by little to releave some heat).

Late last year had the brakes completely fail on a 3 day old Pallisade and the dealer told the victims that yes it’s a known problem. No there’s not a fix, have a nice day and let them drive off in it. I basically begged them to pick anything else but they wouldn’t hear it, that is until they almost crashed with my two nephews in tow.
