I have found the transfer layer of certain pads has a hard time getting scraped clean by other pads, which is neccessary for the new pads to bed into the rotor and lay down their own transfer of pad material. Last example was going from Hawk Blues to street Panther Plus. I ended up with uneven transfer material and shudders under braking. Once I put the Blues back on and re-bedded, everything was fine again...the Blues at low temps are so abrasive, I basically "turned" the rotors on the car!

Hawk actually reccomends sanding the rotor surface before using any non-Hawk pad.
