Update on the Carbotech XP8s
Up to about 3k miles and got my first squeeks out of them. Had them up in the mountains last night. Had to have the stereo off hear them but it was a high pitch noise like you would have on a hearing test. Got them nice and hot on the way down and the squeeled a little louder, even at 35-20mph range, harder I pressed the louder they got. Definitely not what I expected. Figured it would go go away at higher pedal force and higher speed. Still not that loud and the stereo would of made it difficult to hear. Anyway... not a peep out of them under normal driving after the curves were done and none on the way to work. Don't get me wrong, still love them. They're just living up to their warning about using them as street pads. Will try sanding the pads and rotors down a little and rebedding when I get around to it. No hurry, it's not an annoyance yet.
