Brake pads Carbotech or STOPTECH

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 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

STOPTECH Brake pads

To me it looks like brake pad material on your rotors due to your street pads melting. Slap a new set a cheap pads on there from Autozone or something and drive it for a week or two that material should come off. As long as you don’t have vibration while braking they should still be good. Just make sure to use track pads next time. I personally run StopTech 309 pads because they’re good on track and street

Pros: good on track and street
Cons: street pads melting

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

I run StopTech Sport pads on my E92 M3 and they hold up very well for a dual duty pad. I prefer them over the other options listed.

Pros: hold up very well

Rating 3.0

I keep XP8’s on my track/weekend car full time. For me, the noise is annoying when I’m driving through town or in a parking lot because people look at me like my car is broken.

Cons: annoying noise
Vehicle: Toyota MR2
Part number: XP8

STOPTECH Brake pads

Stop tech pads have a lot of brake dust. I had them and hated them. I went with the power stop pads low dust on all four and powerstop drill and slotted rotors up front. I already had stop tech slotted in the rear.

Cons: lot of brake dust
