How do you think people go wheel-to-wheel racing with their street cars for the last 50+ years.
- Get to the track, swap in race pads, do a quick bedding procedure, go racing.
- When your done, swap your stock pads back in, bed in, and go home...
Street pads cannot withstand race temps, and race pads don't have the cold/initial bite for street use.
Anyways, my point is you don't need new rotors if your switching pad material. Just bed and go...

^ he's right, but personally I'd stick to OEM just because I feel it's the best. You lose slightly a little stopping power going off with aftermarket ones, and to me those milliseconds even count.

I replaced my pads only at a local shop in Atlanta ('07 TL-S), I had them double check to make sure they were OEM brembo's. They charged me $159 but I had a $25 off coupon, total cost with tax was $141. My lease is up in a few months, but the brakes were starting to grind. The car stops as good as new now, we'll see what Acura thinks when I turn the car in (ie, not real confident they put brembo's back on).
