I have had no issues swapping between carbotech and the stock pads using the same stock rotors.
I'm now back on the stock pads cause the car is due for service. I also need to wear the stock pads down so it doesn't look weird when the rotors need to replaced at 15K miles when the pads look new.  Free maintenance rocks. |
What do you mean you "cleaned" the rotors. Like you scrubbed them with something abrasive?
Do you normally drive on a track that's easy on brakes or do you go with the 8s because you use them on the street?
