I ran my XP10/XP8 combo on the stock Bridgestone Potenzas today at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, MI. Let me just say this...incredible pads. Along with the fluid change to Motul RBF600, it was like a different car all together. The brakes performed flawlessly the entire day. Experiences like that makes one realize why non-horsepower upgrades are so invaluable. Going fast on this track was about three things: driver skill, tires, and brakes. I must say that's it's nice knowing that I can stop no matter what. No icing either today.

Pics and vids to follow in the Track forum later this week.

Try Injected Performance. They'll take care of you.

I'm in love with these pads. Two track days so far and still going strong.

Awesome review! I just ordered XP10's all around with Motul RBF600 fluid amd I'm running RE-11's 285/255 tires for my upcoming Pocono track day. Do you think this setup will do well?
