You are correct. Well, actually, I don't think it's the pads. The rotors came with a rough surface from the factory and it gets smoothed out by the pads.
Here's mine about 30 miles after installation:


And this is after a hundred miles or so. The pic is not of the same wheel, but all of mine looked like the shot above or worse.

That would be great JMatt! The circle will have become complete.

Amen. And they don't weaken the rotors the way those silly looking cross-drilled ones do....

Got mine installed this morning along with the C-Tek pads. Now I just have to bed the brakes tonight.

Dave recently posted that you want to remove the layer of oil that comes from the factory with either brake clean spray or soapy water before you do this.

Just thought I'd pass that along.

and congrats!

No need for crossdrilled rotors on the street.
