Default i still dont understand why my brakes didnt rub before the new pads.

Is this normal for new pads? Do i need to replace the rotors at 35000 miles?

Default Maybe they did and you didn't hear it.

I had a 1979 FIAT X1/9 that I had semi-metallic pads on and you always heard them. No damage to the rotors though. Time will tell.

Yes, the car was hard to stop when the pads were cold, but once they were hot...
