I just replaced my pads all around with Carbotech so i get majorly reduced brake dust and just OEM rotors.
If you KNOW you're going to be doing a lot of track days, you definitely want to go straight to some full blown track pads, at least for when you're at the track, along with fluid.
Coming from stoptech sports. I got dba sport sp. ceramic pads. Same feel but no dust!
With the XP8s I had, I left early and bed my pads in on the way to the track.
Running Carbotech XP8 and XP10 here. They’re great on track, and also very usable on the street. I’m currently not switching back to my EBC Yellowstuff pads because the Carbotechs aren’t bad enough on the street to justify me switching pads (yes I’m a being a little lazy). They dust like mad though and are quite squeaky.
DBA pads and slotted rotors From knsbrakes.com. Came in at $1,080 delivered last year. Completely eliminated the shudder with the stock brake pads and the slotted rotors look awesome.
DBA Sport. Heaps less dust than oem.
The xp12s are beasts. I pulled brake bias 1-click from full rear to get them balanced on level braking. This gives me one click for more rear, which was really enough for the track. I love late braking, and I can hammer these on a 20min session with NO change in performance.
Over 25 track days I tried : RBF600 + stock pads -> Failed
RBF600 + powerstop -> Failed
Endless + Carbotech xp12 -> Great but wore off quick
Endless + CSG -> less bite but much more durable
Dba xp pads with dba t3 rotors, but wouldn't use them again they dust like hell
