Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): Carbotech
Caliper (F/R): PP Brembo
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): PP Brembo
Compound (F/R): XP10
Tires: GT Radial SX2 (225/45/17)
Brake ducts: No
Feedback: front pads survived ~15 track days, rears still almost like new.
Zero issues on the track, tires overheat before brakes do. There was a bit of smearing on the rotors from time to time but it never affected braking performance. Also almost no rotor wear besides surface hairline cracking from the temperatures.
Initial bite is good, modulation is easy but also feels like too much range, due to some compression I guess.
Bedding wears off when driving on the street and they're starting to be noisy, but bed fast on the track.
Tracks driven - Laguna, Thill, Sonoma, BW time attack, mostly 2 hot laps / 1 cooldown lap pattern.
Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): CSG / Carbotech
Caliper (F/R): PP Brembo
Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): PP Brembo
Compound (F/R): CSG C1 / XP10
Tires: GT Radial SX2 (225/45/17)
Brake ducts: No
Feedback: only did 1 track day with this setup but the difference in modulation range is crazy, I kinda like it but need some adjustments to stop hitting ABS all the time.
Downside is noticeable rotor wear, XP10 was much friendlier to the rotor. Could be also because C1s weren't properly bedded. I only slightly pre-bed them on hwy before the track.
Also worried about the balance a bit. Friend gave me C2 rears but I didn't install them yet and thinking may be I should do XP12/XP10 instead.
