With more friction you'll need more grip (bigger tires + slicks) and more cooling. IMO learn what you have till you can't drop times anymore then upgrade.

Depending on what the demand will be on your braking system at your next track day I always did fine with the Carbotech XP 10 in front and XP 8 in the rear. XP 20? What wheel and tire set up do you plan on using at your next track day? What brake cooling ducts are you currently using? Definitely make sure you flush and fill your brake fluid with Motul RBF 600 brake fluid or Redline brake fluid before your next track event you will be glad you did.

I've never used any pad that strong, but i would be concerned that the XP20 might be too aggressive for a 200tw tire. Too much brake and not enough tire will have a negative effect on your ability to modulate and turns the brake pedal into an on/off switch. the initial stab might lock up your front wheels if you're not careful. Not saying you shouldn't do it or that I know any better, but just trying to add one more checkbox for you before making the purchase.

You’re right. I went with winmax w5 pads, they are similar to xp10’s. 310 for set, can’t beat that deal.
