I lost my brakes 25 years ago due to cheap pads that overheated. That is the day I started doing my own brake work. Never again. Yes, I have a fear of it. I had nothing.

Well let's get specific...
What is it about the OEM pads which you are not satisfied.
- Heat Resistance
- Dust
- Noise
- Friction compound
If all you want is more friction... XP8 are not the way to go. Their minimum operating temperature is far above ambient.
This means: You will not have optimal braking under 75% of your brake pedal usage. The pads will generally be below the operating temperature, and therefore not have the correct braking properties for which they were designed.
