Talking with people at track events and vendors they say it's pretty common with Carbotech/G-loc compounds. Several people I know (BRZ/Miata owners) have moved away from carbotech due to the issue.

Carbotech pads do work for a lot of people.

I'd like to try the ds1.11, but at $531 for the front set (brembo calipers) I'll try some other options first. PFC08s will be the next pad I try ($189/set).

The only thing that I feel like I need before my next track day is a new set of pads. I was thinking the CSG CX2, W5, XP10’s or Hawk HP+. This car will see really minimal street time and almost exclusively track time and I’m still at the early stages of learning. My main goal is that I want a pad that won’t fade in 20 minute track sessions and won’t eat a rotor. I’d also love a somewhat quiet and low dusting pad but those don’t matter so much.

Also I’m pretty sure the stock rotors are still on the car. Even with some pretty hard braking sessions they don’t feel warped so I don’t know if I HAVE to change the rotors. If I do, I was thinking about just going cheap and getting the Centric’s but I’m also thinking about the StopTech Slotted... But again open to opinions.

Thanks all!
My question to you would be, do you want something "enough for now", but may (will) outgrow, or do you want something that will basically be good for you forever, regardless of how fast you get?

Definitely do good brake fluid, an oil cooler, and some camber bolts as well.
That's really all you need to enjoy the car!

Note that all of these mods are sustainability mods; none of them are "go fast" parts, but rather "go longer" parts.

Yeah, I was just surprised by how much more wear. Still worth it.

I had the same experience with XP10's. I would smear them pretty badly even driving at damp slightly raining track days, could never get them to work for me. I also didn't like their spongy feeling threshold breaking.

I have the braided brake lines along with Motul 660... Just need pads that can take the abuse of the heat that the brake delivery gives them

I'm prolly gonna check out an oil cooler soon as well. Next time I'll plug my obd2 scanner in there and see what the temps look like. This one wasn't bad because of rain and more rain... plus additional rain.

The CSG C2's look super tempting but damn that's pricey.

Sounds to me like you're overheating the XP10. It's a great beginner's pad, and you've likely exceeded their capacity, based on your feedback.

You'll likely prefer the other pads you've mentioned, but I'd also recommend giving the C2 a shot, if you're considering DS1.11 money. You'll easily make up the cost in life alone.

Due to the extremely high limits of the C2, you may have difficulty burnishing the pad on a NA car without sticky tires, unless you do long sessions to build enough heat.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought about moving to XP12s or higher but I had enough trouble bedding the XP10s on the street.

I'll see how I get along with the PFCs (already purchased) and then probably try something different.

What are the expected differences between the CSG Sprint (C2) and the Track-day pads (CX1) besides price? Wondering how they compare to each other.

The CX1 is offered in a BRZ PP compatible shape, but is not recommended due to lack of a matching rear. It's listed purely because it's used on other platforms.

I'd recommend C2 front and rear.

So you'd recommend the Cx2 if I'm only doing track days not the C2 right?

C2, not CX2 or CX1, for track days.

Get 2 different set of pads. I use Carbotech 1521's on street and XPS 10/8 for Track on the same rotors. Works great for my uses.

Yeah DS1.11s must have shot up on cost (I remember when I could get a whole set for both axles for $400 shipped).

Boy those days are gone. Might also be just the PP Pad shape which is driving the cost, which well also makes no sense.
