Any street pads compatible with Carbotech XP8's?
 

I recently installed brand new StopTech slotted rotors and CarboTech XP8 pads on all four tires. The pads are a little loud for my taste for street use. I know they are track pads and aren't recommended for street use, but I thought I could live with the noise. Does anyone know of any street pads that are compatible with the XP8's compounds? I'd like to find a set of pads that I can swap out for street use and put in the XP8's for track days.

The Carbotech AX6 or 1521 would be fine to swap between without having to re-bed them.

I can't keep my AX-6 quiet, so would go for the 1521. I'm not sure that's going to be the experience on all calipers, I suspect something with the AP Sprint that isn't helping matters. YMMV

Never had any issues street or track swapping between XP8s and OEM Honda pads on the S2000, or between XP10s and StopTech street pads on the FD.

My XP8s and XP10s quieted down a lot after a hard track day. I ultimately wound up streeting them on the S2000 when I was tracking it, and now I run XP10s street and track on the FD. A little dusty, but again noise should all but go away after track event.

Swapping to stock pads or the "stock" StopTech pads has been working fine for me. Swapped with Cobalt track pads with no issues as well.

Despite their warnings, the Carbotechs don't seem to be all that sensitive to swapping with other compounds.

Also had no problem switching between XP10's and OE and NS400 without doing anything special.

Any nice street compound will work, but using a G-loc RS1 or Carbotech 1521 will save you re-bedding.
