I thought that bad batch was Nov 2004.

Maybe, but I got these from ECS--I would think they turn their inventory pretty often.

Default Axxis Metal Masters aren't any better and perhaps worse.
Mine actually melted to the rotor (smeared pad material) and delaminated from the pad backing. The rotors had to be replaced and new stock pads were installed (no other pads available for the 3.2 caliper).
