Brake swapping question

Hi folks,

I run Raybestos Quietstop ceramics on the street, and Carbotech XP9's front and rear for DE's.

AFter a 3 day DE last weekend, I put my almost new ceramics back on. I put them on the same wheel and orientation(inside/outside) as I had taken them off, to ensure a consistent pad "signature"-not sure if this is necessary, but I'm anal that way.

I noticed on my front rotor inspection before putting the ceramics back on, the tell-tale spider cracks had formed. Still about 2 inches from the outside edge, but I ordered new ones for my next DE.

So, I put my ceramics back on with the same rotors I used in the DE. The car stops fine, but the pedal feel is awful, compared to when I had the ceramics on before the DE.

there is a grinding, rough, almost pulsation feel. Is this just simply that the front rotors are shot(maybe the Carbotechs are not as rotor friendly as I thought?)

anyone ever experienced this?
