Went straight to the XP8s, little bit of squeel after 3k miles, little worse after 5k. Combined with Motul RBF600, don't have to worry about them overheating. Mine's a daily driver.

Better to change your stop light habits after heating up your brakes. Let the pad sit on a fresh spot on the rotor every 20-30 seconds. Just give yourself a couple of extra feet at the light then move forward about a 2 feet every 30 seconds. That'll allow your rotors to cool a little more evenly.
