Default Pagid RS14 vs Carbotech XP10

Time for a new set of track pads, I had a set of Carbotech XP10 last season and they worked great on the track but the noise under normal driving was painful.

Is Pagid RS14 a better choice and worth the extra money?

Opinion please?

The RS14s are so loud on the street they will make your fillings fall out.

Default The RS14 are the black ones and they are noisy and dusty. They are not legal for road use and...

They need to be heated for them to start braking. It can be a big surprise when they are cold and you need to stop fast.

Default Noise is what I'm thinking...XP8's were noisy on the street until..

I switched to slotted rotors, so I'm thinking the 10's gotta be more noisy mb.
