Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate your input.
I used the XT910 Racing Brake Pads as they were recommended to me by Figs for spirited driving, but I do agree under high temps they don't seem to perform as well.
As for bedding the rotors I did 60-10mph x6 and thats it, didn't follow up with 100-40~ stops. I followed what Figs had recommended as a good bedding procedure which is what I did.
What Hawk pads are you using? and has it been ok with the two piece rotors?
Anyone else have pad recommendations on these figs rotors?

Oh, and just a question - Did you flush your fluid when you changed the rotors and pads?

Thanks for the info Flowrider, and no I didn't flush my fluids when I changed my rotors and pads.
My old pads were still pretty new, my front rotors had like 55,000km on them.
Brake fluid is at the same level as before changing the pads and rotors.

No problem. I'm using the HP plus pads and they have decent bite but are VERY dusty! I bleed my brakes twice a year and have been using Brembo LCF 600. As mentioned above you should consider bleeding your system, I flush mine twice a year.
I messaged Figs a while back looking for replacement for my front pads and he agreed with my statement of the RB pads lacking bite. I ended up just using what I had sitting but as I stated I'm going to try the HC800's once these are done.
