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

Carbotech Brake pads

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

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.

Pros: look brand new, really last
Mileage: 50000 km

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

Pros: good for track and street
Cons: dirty, noisy, chews rotors

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...

Pros: none
Cons: paint on edges, warped rotors, cracked pad
Mileage: 20000 km
