Ask bladesofchaos (he has special characters in his name, cant remember what they are) what happens when you use XP8's as your DD pads. When I took them off of his car, the material buildup was so aggressive, they dug what were probably 1/2" wide, and 1/8" DEEP grooves into his brake rotors and ruined them, simply because they werent getting hot enough to shed the pad material properly.
thanks that's GTK! My Z is not a daily driver but most, if not all driving is on the street. I'm changing the front rotors out and was wondering if I should change the pads while I'm at it. If it's going to be dusty and noisy, I'll just keep the OEM pads and swap them out if I plan on a track day.
