Brake pads POWER STOP or Carbotech

I’ve used carbotech XP10 for years because it’s the only pad that has never had any of these kinds of problems. Also also swapped between 1521 and XP10 seamlessly. The only time I had a problem like this was when I used some very cheap rotors that couldn’t handle the track abuse, you could actually see the rotor surface getting pitted. Yours look fine by comparison.

For my GR86 Carbotech XP10s have been amazing on the track, seriously no complaints at all. The XP10s with Castrol SRF have been a great combo and held up really well even on some really big/high speed tracks. I swap in my OEM pads when I’m not tracking the car for awhile. It’s not great because I have to bed the pads every time I change them. Once I’m through the OEM pads I’m going to get the Carbotech 1521’s for the street, that way like you mentioned I think I can avoid having to avoid bedding my brakes with every change. The XP10’s function well on the street but they feel a little rough if not up to temp and they are insanely loud.

I personally use Carbotech XP10 for track and Stoptech Sport pads for street on the same rotors

I've put either the z23 evolution or the z26 street warrior on many vehicles. Awesome improvement in stopping power across the board.

Powerstop on my Durango RT. Never an issue and been great for years.

I've ended up with Power Stop on 3 Fords (Fusion, Escape, and Focus) and an Infiniti (Q50 3.0t AWD) and have been happy. Plus it's easy to just buy one kit and everything shows up together. I tend not to use their grease (I have a big tube of sil-glyde in the toolbox) and their retention springs for the rear calipers on the Escape didn't fit (this is not uncommon with other brands I've had on it as well). I've also had very good results with AKebono and used to swear by Wagner ThermoQuiet pads until I had trouble getting them a couple years ago and got the Power Stop parts.

Have the powerstop z36 on my gen 1. Next to non brake dust compared to the oem pads/rotors

Power Stop pads and rotors on my Ram 1500 are the best setup I have ever had. Nearly zero dust and consistent braking.

Read lots of reviews for power stops but also that they started restickering different pads.

changed front pads to powerstop z26 pads. "Broke" them in doing recommended stopping intervals. Now 2 days later going over 60 the car shakes really bad seemingly from the passenger side.
