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

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

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

carbotech xp10/xp8(f/r), not a daily but the car sees plenty of street miles. they are noisy and dusty but this setup has been perfectly fine for me.

Pros: perfectly fine
Cons: noisy, dusty

I’ve used carbotech XP10 for years because it’s the only pad that has never had any of these kinds of problems. Also also swapped between 1521 and XP10 seamlessly. The only time I had a problem like this was when I used some very cheap rotors that couldn’t handle the track abuse, you could actually see the rotor surface getting pitted. Yours look fine by comparison.

Pros: no problems, seamless swap
Cons: cheap rotors pitted

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

I use carbotech xp8s. Dtc 60 or 70s would also be a good choice. Be warned through track pads driven on the street will accelerate rotor wear. I hated the Ferodo ds2500s when cold.

Cons: accelerates rotor wear

OEM Hyundai Brake pads

I used to own a 2012 sonata and one day last year the brakes started acting extremely sensitive and would even to activate on their own (it would cancel out cruise control when my foot wasn’t touching the brakes) and would cause my car to feel like it was stalling out.

Cons: extremely sensitive, activate on own, car stalling
Vehicle: Hyundai Sonata
