They certainly didn't glaze over or make the horrible squeal the... don't hate... 7 year old BMW OE pads did my last session. The car has 9k miles on it, they were likely the brakes that came with the car (I bought it at 2.5k, doubt they were swapped before I bought it).

I don't touch the rotors.
Good to know. Do you have them all around? And what pads do you use for the RB BBK, since it kind of looks like that's what I'm going to be going for (unless there are other suggestions).
