Well here goes my first ever post, so go easy on me . I just swapped out the stock P3D pads for the Racing Brake XT910 pads, and I cant believe I didn't do it sooner. Living in Ontario, Canada, one of my worries was how they would perform in the cold weather, but so far there are no downsides I'm seeing; its all positive. The initial bite is much better, and the remaining pedal feel is very linear, which gives me a LOT more confidence than the stock pads. In terms of noise, there's a very minor increase in "screeching" but only at crawling speeds when the car/brakes are ice cold and its not driven (keep in mind its well below freezing with snow here currently). After 1-2 light brakings, any noise is completely gone. I have a feeling that during the spring/summer/fall, there wont be any noise. In terms of brake dust, I haven't noticed any drastic change so far which is also a big plus.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this upgrade, and hope to pair it with some stainless steel lines, brake fluids, and new rotors in the spring. Thanks for reading!
