I just recently put new pads on (EBC Redstuff) the front and in doing so I noticed that the previous pads had worn strangely on the rotors. If you look at the pics, you'll see that they did not wear evenly across the rotor face. I figured it was the old pads but after about a week and a half of having the new pads on there and bedding them in, it seems that they still are not sitting flat against the rotor.

IMO, it looked like the OEM pads wore a groove in the middle of the rotor when I first took them off.

Does it look like I need to get the rotors turned? Or new rotors?

If new rotors, any suggestions?

By the way, the car and the rotors only have roughly 32k miles on them.

Always use new rotors with new pads.
Turning rotors will get them below their minimum thickness and isn't suggested.

Not all pads sweep the entire surface of the rotor. Pretty much every car I can recall changing pads on has looked like this.

I agree turning rotors is pointless, but don't change my rotors until they're showing signs of significnat wear. I usually see 2-3 sets of pads to one good quality set of rotors.

Worth trying to clean the rotors?

Also, any thoughts on the Brembo cross-drilled OEM replacements (the gold ones)?
