I got these pads on recommendation from Spencer at Z1 for a track day at Road America this Spring and I was pleasantly surprised. I ran these on my 2013 G37S sedan 6 spd. I usually run Hawk DTC-60 pads which bite well, but really dust a lot and wear the rotors pretty substantially. These Carbotechs provided all of the same bite and fade resistance with less dust and definitely less wear on my rotors. I think I have found my new favorite track pad. This was at a track with very long straights where I was hitting about 140 mph.
I was initially a bit skeptical of Carbotech as I tried some of their pads on a WRX at the same track about 10 years ago and the pads broke down and chunked pretty noticeably. Thankfully, I had none of these issues this time around.
