Default RE: Brake Pads?

I swapped out my stock polished rotors a few weeks ago because I bent one while mounting a tire. I bought some polished cheapos off of eBay. The look good and work great. At any rate, this is what my EBC pads looked like at 30k miles.

For you guys that switched to the Lyndall pads, did you have to have your rotors machined, or did you just put them on?

I ordered mine through my local dealership since I get a 15% discount there. But I believe you can order them on the LRB website, too.

Kevlar are good for heat, won't scare the rotor, don't make noise, no dust. Bad part; need to be broke in doing city riding for 40 to 50 stops. Let cool between stops. Then you are ready for high speed riding and stopping.
