In short, Essex suggests that it may be a good idea to scrub off the original pad material of a different pad from the rotor before bedding in your new pads. This way, you can avoid vibration, judder, and uneven pad deposits.

I personally feel this is a bit excessive for the recreational track enthusiasts. But it is probably very important for those who push their brakes to the limit.

Good information to know nonetheless.
I had stoptech BBK on my previous car, WRX, and would switch between a street and track pad, properly bedding(at least I think I did) each time. Eventually the rotors started depositing so in that case I think above would of solved my problem. I ended up using a race pad to remove the deposits but for at least me, switching between pads it tough on the rotors. I have heard some people have sets of rotors paired with pads.
