I guess this one's probably best for Eric, but I'm curious what the consensus is on the topic, so feel free to chime in. If one were to install a different compound of pads on an existing rotor, is there anything that needs to be done so that they will bed correctly? The rotors are in good shape and in my opinion aren't in need of turning, but when you install a different compound of pad, isn't there a difference in the chemicals that are transferred to the rotor? Is there a way to clean a rotor so that any old residue is removed and the new pads will transfer that initial layer of chemical material to the rotors to allow them to be properly bedded?
I've seen some guys put better pads on at the track before a DE, but use the same rotors. Is this a no-no? |

The rotors should be scuffed to remove any of the old compound.
Otherwise it may transfer onto the new pads and cause squealing. |
