hello everyone! first post, but i've been lurking for a while. Looking for opinions from the track folks here to guide me in the right direction.

I've recently installed the akebono brakes on my g35 coupe and I am in search for a set of track pads. After a bit of searching I am seeing a lot of people running the XP10/XP8 combo front and rear on their Z's.

However, my vehicle packs quite a bit more weight, coming in at 3600lbs I'm not sure whether I should shell out the extra bit and step it up to XP12 and XP10 front/rear. what do you all think?

Anyone have experience with winmax pads? I'm also looking into those as an option other than carbotech.
