I have carbotech pads coming and they'll be here long before warmonger's brake upgrade is ready for 'production'. Should I go ahead, turn my stock rotors (already vibrating a little), put them on, and then when warmonger's kit is available use them on the new rotors? Or would it be best to wait and just let them spend their whole life on the new (bigger) rotors?

I reused the existing pads when I installed the bigger rotors. They did not have much wear on them. They seated into the new rotors just fine.

Other's may disagree.

you should be able to do it with out much issue but it the rotors are already going bad that might not be good for the brake pads

but either way it you sand the pad to open it back up it should seat to the new rotor
