Here are some PFC 07 compounds, just after a three lap outing:

I'm going to just file down the Blacks if they need it and put them on.

Is this concern warranted?

Just go to the PFC's and be done with it.

You're over analyzing it...

Use your old pads on the new rotors. Pad transfer will work better which is why pagid and stop tech suggest doing it That way. The worn pads will not cause a problem and will wear to a flat surface matching the rotors. Or, do as suggested above, and go with PFC's.

Best,

I do not understand this video and what it has to do with the pads.

We'll just file any obvious irregularities and go with old. Makes you wonder what you get on a new car though. You assume that all new cars, high performance too, have new rotors and pads. S'pose they don't care if you wear out components early?
