The xp8's, IMO, are fine both on track and streetable as well. My wife is actually the track rat, I'm just the "crew chief" (cervical & lumbar spinal injuries and a TBI etc etc). She's been doing HPDEs for a few years now and her feedback is the xp8s are fine on track with her braking style. We're considering moving up the xp10s at some point but I'd rather add brake ducting first. Unfortunately, there's no "off the shelf" solution yet, if there was, it'd be on our car already.

The carbotechs have been wearing extremely well and while they dust, it's non corrosive so our wheels still look brand new after a nice wash. We both have a very high tolerance for brake squeal etc, so I consider them total fine for daily driving etc.
