Brake pads POWER STOP or Carbotech
Power stop z23 pads been working well for me, seems like much less brake dust that oem
I put Powerstop Z23s on the front of my '20 and I'm very happy with them. A little noisy on cold mornings for the first couple applications but that goes away when they warm up a tiny bit.
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
Project Mu Club racers front and rear will cost the same as just the XP10 fronts. Then use powerstop Z16 for the street, super low dust. Same rotors for both.
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
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.
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.
I run power stop on my IS250 for the past 5 years. They somehow still look brand new over the past 50k miles so they really do last.
I run carbotech xp8 on the front of my c5. Still a group 2 level driver. They’re a good pad for a car that’s driven to the track and home, but dirty and noisy at times for a street pad. They’re considered entry level track pads. I chew up rotors but don’t get fade, but my local tracks aren’t particularly hard on brakes
Bought a set of Powerstop pads and rotors for my Avalon. Every single pad had paint on the edge that prevent the pad from sliding smoothly. Ended up sanding the edges of all 8 pads before I could install them. The rotors warped in 20k miles on the front, and 1 of the pads cracked...
