very typical of people who arent mechanics fitting brakes. I know that brake rotors can be scored, sometimes very deeply in normal use. As a mechanic, and installing and seeing many thousands of sets of pads and rotors be used, i can assure you i have seen this many times before.

What i would have done, is kept the pads and rotors in there. There is no safety issue and i do agree that it was most likely the bedding in process being done incorrectly. Rotors can take up to 1000km to bed in properly, sometimes even more. not something you can do on a test drive.

I think that the whole forum jumped the gun a little on this one.

Im sure ill get flamed on this one, but i hate seeing people complaining about a product even though it was improper use.

Cheers

Tom
