Time for new brake pads!

Installed the pads. I also needed to have my rotors faced just a little as per my mechanic's recommendation.
Initial impressions after driving for a couple of days?
Initial bite is great, however.. pedal pressure after that is greater than OEM. I feel more effort is needed to stop the car after the initial stomp.
Will that improve after the pads have been bedded in?

Never turn a rotor. It's a bad idea. If the rotor is damaged, get a new one. If it is still within service limits, install new pads and drive the car. Turning creates more problems than it solves.

Resurfacing a rotor creates a spiral groove like a vinyl record from edge to root. You can mitigate this by using a garnet sanding disc to try and break up the groove, but the pad will want to climb against the rotor because this groove forces it to move up or down until the pad snaps back to the top from too much force in the other direction.
