Brake pads Carbotech or WILWOOD

WILWOOD Brake pads

When I had an NC, I put wilwood pro matrix pads on. I did a few track days a year and then drove it daily in the summer. They held up great, but I wasn't super hard on them at the track.

Pros: held up great, good for daily
Vehicle: Mazda

Carbotech Brake pads

I had an issue with severe brake dust from the OEM pads on my Z06 Corvette. I replaced the pads with Carbotech 1521s and the dust was eliminated. Made a huge difference with keeping the wheels clean and the pads preformed better.

Pros: dust was eliminated, pads preformed better
Cons: severe brake dust
Part number: 1521S

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.

Pros: streetable, very happy
Cons: messy

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

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

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
