I ran the Carbotech XP10 front and XP8 back for years before switching to different brake pads. There is a reason the Carbotech brake pads cost more they bit really well and you will be able to see the full benefits of the Carbotech’s on the track. You will see a braking improvement with the Carbotech’s but you will need to run upgraded rotors though. Only con’s is you will notice is more dusting coming from them and evident on your wheels. Also when they are cold a specially on cold days they will make noise moaning etc. When they warm up they quiet down. One thing to realize is when running a track oriented brake pad like the Carbotech’s or similar rotor life will decrease some. I recommend switching from street brake pads when you want to drive your Z on the street and on your track days switching over to your track pads you will thank yourself later. The 1521 Carbotech’s will be a nice improvement on the street. What brake fluid do you plan on using? What is your brake set up plans for street/track?
