Stillen (spelled it right this time) provided a set a free metal matrix pads when I bought the rotors. On the last lapping session (June) I used the metal matrix pads with the J-Hook rotors and all went well except I didn't have the stopping power and I went through the whole pad that day. The rotors survived and worked just fine with the lame pads.
Adding the high friction ie heat generator pads did the rotors in but I had great stopping ability and still did when the steering wheel started shuddering while braking.
This situation occurred on a seriously aggressive track type setting. I don't know that the situation could be duplicated on normal roads.
