[QUOTE="Budwise, post: 13903000, member: 150607"] When you change pad compounds you need to at least do a light surface sand of the rotors to help A) Get the old compound off and B) rough it up a little so you can go do a brake in of the new ones and transfer some of that new compound onto the fresh sanded rotors. Its ok, just pull your wheels off, takes some sand paper and spin the rotor around and try and scratch up and scuff the mirror finish off and reveal some of the fresh rotor material. Then take it back out and reset your brakes again with some 0-60mph runs and then hard brake for 5-6 times in a row until you can smell the brakes cookin. Then get off the brakes entirely for 5-10 minutes and just drive and let them cool. Then when you park do not use the parking/Ebrake, just put it in gear and let them finish cooling. [/QUOTE]
