when i broke in my pads, they smoked like a bastard and smelled like ass. i've read of some glowing rotors on break in, even. .. .

but now, after two weeks, i've managed to warp brand new rotors. this sucks.

Haven't put my new ones on yet but (KPF's) but along with the get 'em real hot instructions, they also recomend cleaning the rotors (if they're not new or freshly turned) with MEK to make sure there's not any of the old pad material still adheared to the rotor. They said they're compound sometimes doesn't play well with other compounds that may still be on the rotors.
