Huge improvement in braking although they are partially responsible for me cording a month old set of hoosiers . Might be more pad than your looking for but then again you won't know if you don't try. Also fwiw the pads make NO noise during normal braking which I know for some is a concern.

Wait a sec...did you say your brakes caused you to prematurely cord your Hoosiers? If so I am so glad R comps are out next year.

My vote, Carbotech AX6 - great autoX pad for initial bite with consistent braking feel to stop. I have used on my STi and Mustang with great long lasting(for autoX and street) results. As for tires, yes better tires is always more important than pads. Pads = Priority #2.

Still getting used to the increased bite of the carbotechs, that's what caused it more than anything. Also R-Comps might be out for CS but I run ASP so R-Comps are still the price to play.

Looking at the AX6 online it only shows they fit 09-11 370's. Will they fit a '14 with sport brakes?

Default CarboTech brake pad sizes/shapes Sport calipers

Note: Sport Brake pads F: CT1346 and R: CT1347 fit my 2014 Nismo 370Z just fine. Remember to transfer the rattle clips too. I use the CarboTech 1521s on the street and the XP8s on the track. Hope this helps.
