Default Brake Pads For The Track - Raybestos ST41, ST42, ST43

I've been using Carbotech XP12s (Front) and XP10s (Rear) for years at track days and HPDEs.

At my last Road America event, someone recommended I try the Raybestos ST series, maybe in a ST41 (front)/ST42 (rear) combo or ST41/ST43 combo.

I've never tried these pads before. Any feedback from those that have on how they may compare to the Carbotechs? Recommended compound combo for front and rear?

Thanks!

Excellent and very affordable. I did have an ST43 chunk on me this past weekend while rotating pads, but otherwise have been very pleased. I have a couple sets of ST41s to use as well.

I have only used CL, Hawk, Raybestos and PFC pads (and all seemed the same and excellent to me), but not sure about comparing to carbotechs.

I have tried hawk's, pfc's and the St43's.
I prefer the st43's, good grip/modulation and they last longer.
YMMV
