Brake pads Carbotech or OEM Nissan

Carbotech Brake pads

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.

Pros: better heat tolerance, good modulation
Cons: light initial bite
Vehicle: Acura Integra
Part number: 1521

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

Pros: significant decrease in dust
Cons: slight decrease in bite

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

Pros: work very well, one of the best

I have a friend with a near-identicle Zenki to mine, his is powered by a built single turbo rb26. He's making well in excess of 700whp and the z32s are plenty of brake for him as a point of reference.

Pros: plenty of brake for 700whp

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

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).

Pros: amazing set up, strong initial bite, little fade
Cons: slight longer pedal travel, super noisy on street, screech and grind rotors

Had to get all brake pads done 22k miles in. Brake still makes a sound when released could be bushings but not a major enough issue yet to replace.

Cons: brake pads replaced early, brake noise
