Default Carbotech's overkill

I have an 07 base model, no mods. It's my daily driver but I want to take it to the track maybe by the end of the year, once in awhile.

Are the Carbotech's overkill. How much longer do they last then other brake pads?

It doesn't matter whether a car is FWD or RWD. The front brakes do the majority of the stopping so they will normally wear out first. Did you happen to notice that your front brakes are larger..............that is because they do most of the work stopping the car.

I have 2004 350Z with brembos and need to replace the front brakes.
I am most interested in performance of the pads....and I initially just
installed the Posiquiets and have about 350 miles of moderate driving on them now. I would guess they are >80% bedded in.
I am wondering if they are going to grab any more..but
really think now they did not bite enough and I will need more stopping power.

I see the Bobcats and the Hawks are coming up as the "performance pads".
Has anyone run them both?
Can anyone give me any more details on the performance of these 2?
