I tried adjusting my braking, no dice.

Yeah, if you have to "adjust your braking", that ain't right...

I just find it odd I could smear them on a damp track where I was not driving them that hard. On a hot day I could smear the rears too. I had better performance out of PMU HC800's on my stock calipers.

Weird for sure. I must have run ~10+ sets over the years between the 240Z and RX-7 and never had any issues. I ran XP8s on the S2000 over the years, likewise never any problems at all with braking, and maybe a little more streetable fwiw. For XP10 and XP8 both I would prefer a bit more initial bite and slightly higher c.f. for less pedal effort required, but they never ever failed me and were IMO quite streetable even DD'ing for months on end.
It has been a few years since I ran Carbotechs, I wonder if compounds or processes have changed?
