Brake pads are not universally good or bad. Things that determine the effectiveness of a pad depend on:
Car weight and speed
Track
Braking style

I had DS2500 on my previous car and they were great on street and track BUT the car weighed 200 kgs less than the BRZ and wasn't as fast.
Tracks can be fast or slow or a combination of both.
Different drivers use their brakes differently.

So while the XP10s are good pads you may need to experiment more to find the optimum pad for you, your car and tracks you visit.

Certainly having different street and track pads is optimum.
