Isn't that a good thing? Wouldn't it be bad if your pads weren't gripping hard under heavy breaking?

no it is really not good for i am heat checking the rotors to often.. the scoring can lead to rotor failure.. what you need is good transfer of pad material right now because the ebc cof of friction is so high the pads are overheating the rotors
i want to try out a good set of ceramic pads or these new zrated perf friction stuff

Or you can buy the EBC rotors for the EBC pads might do you a little justice
