I like EBC Yellows for autoX/street (daily them), but after driving on Carbotechs (XP-10s front XP-8s rear), I would not recommend the yellows as a track pad. World of difference between the two sets.

I should have clarified them as street pads only. I use dedicated track pads for track duty.

Interesting advice! Might have to go try this on my HP+'s

I will say though that the pedal feel isn't as good as it was with the HP+ although I might need a rebleed.

Track/street pads are garbage esp ones that don't squeal or dust. That's like asking for a blow job along with your pad purchase.

Run two different dedicated pads and call it a day.

I have StopTech street pads. They were pretty cheap and provide a slightly better bite than oem. Only downfall is they dust much more than my previous AP1 oems (which didn't dust at all).
