Either
Carbotech XP10 front XP8 back
or XP8 front and back...

But the real question should I go with them, since the car is driven on the street, to and from the track
or
should I simply just get street/track pad set

I want to replace the pads before the next track event in a month...

Thanks for being patience with me on this, at times I get all thumbs....
6 years- 2 nismo 370 z’s over that time, both set up as streetable track cars, ran XP10 front XP8 rear full time. Fine on the street but like Rusty said a lot of dust and squealing but it’s a track car, who cares. On the first nismo we couldn’t really hear the squealing over the FI LTHs with non res cbe.

Oh, and motul rbf 660. Wifey cooked rbf 600 at Sebring in the summer one time and 8/8 combo failed there too, but 10/8 held up, this was with no brake ducting.

Oh, on aggressive street tires, PS2s iirc.

At the track I run 275 front and 305 rear Toyo R888, I have Stillen brake ducts and always run RBF600 fluid with XP10 Front XP8 rear. Never experienced brake fade at the track but my dust boots always burn up. Love the Carbotechs for the stopping power and durability: Hate the Carbotechs for dusting and squealing in daily driving. Rebuilt the calipers (again) This time around added front 2 piece slotted rotors maybe that could hep in the cooling dept. I have also ditched the carbos for Stoptech Sports, don't do enough track to justify living and a daily basis with the squeal and dust

just a little update, I am pleased with the Carbotechs, dusty yes, noise, a bit not bad... stopping very pleased. But what I have learned, is that braking technique, is really key to my future of going a bit faster , so trying to understand and practice braking pressure..
