OEM Sport Brakes vs XP8 vs XP10

You can't get any better braking performance than what you have with the OEM pads, the XP pads simply have a greater (and higher) temperature range and may require more

You can't get any better braking performance than what you have with the OEM pads, the XP pads simply have a greater (and higher) temperature range and may require more pedal pressure when cold (i.e. the first 2 or 3 stops).

Track pads can squeal a fair bit, mainly when cold or really hot. The dust isn't bad in average driving if you wash your car on a weekly basis.

But there really is no good or logical reason to install track pads if you aren't going to the track, you're braking distances will not be reduced.
