Yeah - when you bed new pads onto old rotors, if the old rotors had been used with a non compatible pad compound, then there can be very severe brake judder for several laps before the old pad material is finally worn off, then all is generally good.
In my experience the Pagid materials are compatible with the Textar OEM materials, so you can bed new race pads onto old rotors that have been used on the street with the OEM pads. Some combinations like this are not so friendly.
Some folks claim that cleaning old rotors with ammonia Windex before using an incompatible material will solve this problem, but I have never tried it.
