Default OEM Sport Brakes vs XP8 vs XP10

A recent thread has me wondering...

Now, myself I like OEM. The brakes on the Z are seriously good, scary good IMO. I feel like my soul is being ripped out of my body and continuing down the road when I really get on them.

But, there's always that "itch" for something better. Better how you say? Well, I don't know!

So, anyone who's used the Carbotech XP8 or XP10, coming from the sport brakes - what are your thoughts on them under the obvious criterial - track use (which will be next to never for me, but others may be more), daily driver use (commuting), performance car enthusiast (weekender, typically either cruising open roads or running the occasion errand and taking the long way).

One thing mentioned is they produce more dust than the OEM pads. How much dust? How much noise over OEM?


Any thoughts you can provide, I appreciate!
