Hi everyone. My B5 is due a Pad change soon so I was just wondering what your views would be on what PADS I should upgrade my standard OEM ones with?

I use Carbotech XP8 front and rear.
Done a few trackdays with RBF600 brake fluid. No fade what so ever.
Greatly recommended.

ive had these pads in the past. only prob i would say is due to the material and heat generated by braking the tend to stick to the wheel and after a while will pretty much destroy your wheels.

Hummmm i havent had any issues with destroyed wheels. They do dust alot though so you have to wash the wheels/car pretty often
Regarding heat issues so yea the drawback of runing a pretty aggresive pad on stock calipers and discs
