Brake Pad Manufacturer (F/R): Carbotech
Caliper (F/R): OEM F/R

Rotor Size (F/R - IE OEM or specify): OEM F/R
Compound (F/R): XP10 F/R
Tires: Falken RT660 245/40r17

Feedback:
For reference, car is a 2013 BRZ with stock header/tune/braking system, only upgrades are wheels/tires and brake pads/fluid.

Pads are a touch light when cold but really not bad and can hold up to 20 minute lapping sessions at a casual lapping pace when ambient temperatures are lower than 20c/68f, but they'll notably fall off within a few laps when ambient temperatures are 26c/79f.

Front pads are wearing like butter, I went through 1.5 sets of front pads over 7 track days, 1 TA, and 2 autocross events. Rears are much more reasonable at a little over half over the same period of time.

Brake ducts would probably help tons but I'm due to refresh calipers and rotors anyways so it's a good opportunity to move into BBK.

Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 6 but easy to clean
Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 6
Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 7 until overheated then 4
Modulation (1=low-10=high): 7
Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): 7
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): (estimate/actual) 3
Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? (Y/N) N
Brake ducts: (Y/N) N
