I'll start first!

Brake Pad Manufacturer: Carbotech
Compound (F/R): XP10/XP8
Tires: 215/45/17 Dunlop Z1SS

Feedback:
The XP10/XP8 combo worked quite well for the stock-powered and stock-weighted BRZ especially on stock sized Dunlop Z1SS. Brake dusting and brake noise was definitely elevated over stock. Street driving has been a pleasure with these pads. There is significantly more bite over stock brake pads. Modulation is quite good as well for track pads in the cold.

I noticed how well the brake pads performed high speed tracks such as Auto Club Speedway, where speeds need to be dropped from 130mph to 40mph consistently even at 105ºF+ ambient conditions! So far so good. I have had about 14 track days on the brake pads before I wore the pads down to the backing plate.
