good stuff. seeing as to how I have less than 20 miles on these pads, I will try this tomorrow. I can still see the crosshatch on the rotors from where I used my die grinder on them so I think im still good. Thanks for the knowledge.

As for the Duralast pads themselves, after the bed in procedure I will try some spirited driving if I get a chance and update this thread with the results.

Regarding information on bed-in and swapping pads on the same rotors (second link), Essex parts did a fantastic job of explaining everything here:
