If you can, get the stage 2. The thicker pads are a huge benefit to track guys.

I run hawk DTC 60 with the stage II front and sport Rear. No cooling needed. Highly recommend this over the willwood BP series.

DTC 60 is an aggressive pad. It is equivalent to Wilwood BP30.

I finally got around to installing the Carbotech 1521s.

I decided to just use my angle grinder with a 60 grit sanding flap disc to quickly sweep across the rotors as I spun them on my stool with the backrest removed. Then I used 80 grit sandpaper wrapped around a flat block of wood to add a cross hatch pattern tangential to the center drum, going in each direction. Saved me a $100 instead of getting them spun, and it really didn't look like there was much grooving that would require them to be spun. In fact, the BP10's had probably 75%+ of the material left on them, which I will keep for any future track days. Obviously, I haven't been using the brake pads that much when canyon carving, or rather, I haven't been abusing them or heating them up much.

I then took the car out to bed the brakes. I did 4 sets of medium braking from 45-15 then 8-10 sets of hard braking from 60-15. Through it all, the brakes never squealed, and after, I drove around for another half an hour with light to medium braking, and I never once heard a squeal. The wife was with me, and she was very happy.

I haven't had them long enough to know if they will ever squeal. I'll have to see after the car gets washed or after a rain or in different weather conditions, but my guess is they will be near quiet to completely quiet. Again, I haven't had them long enough to make a full review, but my initial impressions are that they don't seem to have as strong of a bite as the BP10s, nor do they feel as hard, but that could change as they wear in more fully. They seem perfect for the street and are easy to modulate, but feel sporty. I'm curious how they will hold up to street and canyon use. Overall, I am very happy thus far.
May pull the trigger on front kit soon. How did the 1521 hold up after they've worn in some? How were they for canyons? They work well now that you are turbo-K24'd?
How's dust? lol. I have white wheels and my current pads are extra dusty. My car is 99.9% street use, so I was thinking of either the stage 1 or stage 2 front kit with 1521 pads, plus some low dust ceramic pads in the rear like EBC red stuff or Hawk performance ceramic.

Carbotech DOES NOT recommend bedding 1521 pads. After installing these pads, the car needs to be driven like your grandma would drive for about 400 miles (and this is a direct quote!). If these pads are bedded, there is a good chance they would glaze, which would cause squealing.

I like them. They don’t have the bite of the BP pads, but they also only squeal for me once they get hot in the canyons, and then they quiet down once I cruise around. Less dust for sure. Pedal feel is okay minus the initial bite and immediacy they BPs had. I like them.

1521's are street only pads. Maybe Light Auto-X but I would not to use them for harder driving. But they are always super quiet. Honestly Sport is more then enough for street only. The pads used on Sport are really thick. These pads will last a lonnngggg time
