Awesome that saves me $50. I'm gonna just use the stop tech pads that I bought. I didn't want to ruin them, now that I'm positive I won't I'll just put them on. I sprayed three coats of hi temp caliper paint on the rotors as well. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Try this site...friends have used it with great results:

Thank you for the post! I've already painted them though :/
