XP8 Believer
Just turned 45k on the Z and am on my 2nd set of XP8s. This is my daily driver.
1st set lasted 40k miles, occasional canyon runs and have never had any brake fade. They are the best street pads I've ever had. Well worth the occasional squeek.
Observations:
They do dust a bunch.
Don't let the dust get cake on your wheels and get wet several times. The crud is a b!^ch to get off.
I think the wheels look great with the dust as long as it's not spotty from water getting on them.
1st set lasted 40k miles. Lots of warning when they're gone since the grooves in your rotor are so deep the backing will scrape on the ridge about a 1.5mm before you run out of pad.
The rears set looks like they'll be good for 2 front sets
There is some noise occasionally but usually only in stop and go traffic and light peddal pressure
I have not needed to warm them up to get bite out of them but my temps seldom go below 40F
More friction than stock pads
When changing them. put new caliper dust seals on. The caked on crud tears them appart. A new seal kit would be nice since you're already messing with the caliper pistons.
