You do realize that there is a break-in procedure for new rotors and/or pads, right? Each manufacturer is slightly different, but they all have them.

For instance, Hawk recommends:

"After installing new pads make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 35 mph with moderate pressure. Make an additional two to three hard stops from approximately 40 to 45 mph. Do not allow the vehicle to come to a complete stop.When completed with this process, park the vehicle and allow the brakes to cool completely before driving on them again. Do not engage the parking brake until after this cooling process is compete"
