My EBC Redsuff brake pads are new and I have put maybe a mile on them so far. I know they have a break in period of up to 1500 miles, but they're chewing the shit out of my rotors. Does this look normal for these pads?
EBC Redstuff pads wearing correctly?

Did you slap pads?
Slides lubed?
I have ebc red stuff in the rears and i installed them with new rotors and they never looked like that.
I lube the part on the pad at each end that slides into the mounting bracket so everything is lubed and slides nice.
Edit: Looks like a metal to metal look on the outer edge.

slap pads? I didn't lube up the slide portion, never have (although now I will since it never crossed my mind). I'll pull the rotors and pads in a minute and post pics.
Really dumb question, but should I be using the little spring thing on top of the pads?

The wear indicator for the pads is on back wards on the pad on the right in the pic.
Slap pads = replace pads with out resurfacing the rotors.
Shit, you're right guys. Talk about a stupid mistake. Oh well, atleast I didn't get much time driving them. Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Tomorrow I'll get the rotors turned, get new clips for the pads, and get new springs for the pads.
Don't forget to deburr/chamfer all the holes and slots after they come back from the machine shop.....
No prob.
But good luck with the rotors. Never tried as i use stock reg rotors but i have hear of problems resurfacing slotted rotors. Just something i have "heard" but as i recall you can chamfer the corners on the drilled part but mayeb you can do it on the slotted part as well. But usually they are replaced.

From what i have seen the holes are but the slots are not which they might need to be after cutting.
Imo i would just buy drilled and replace by needed but with slotted there really not chamfered the way they come.
