I'd say for light track duty (road course, ~30min sessions, no slicks/wings, etc), this is about all you need on a 370Z, at least a sport package one. Carbotech XP8s and RBF600 and a 25-ish row add-on oil cooler. Swaybars are nice too.

I'd say your spot on, but would still add 1 more thing: at least 1/2 a tank of gas. Fuel starvation will hit even if your on street tires.

But to stay on topic, the XP10 and 8 combo have worked great for me on track. For street and autox the stock pads are fine, although the added bite of the Carbotech pads is something I miss every time I switch back to stock.

tell me about it! I just switched my stoptechs over from XP12 to the stoptech pads that came with the car so I can drive it on the street a little this off season and its a freaky feeling not having that bite!
