Who has run HPS pads on stock rotors without turning them or replacing them? If I had the money I would love to put down $380 for a set of brembo blanks but after purchasing a ws9 hood money is tight. thanks in advance.

You should resurface or replace rotors regardless of pad brand/compound, it's the right way to do it. You can get rotors resurfaced for like $10.

If you are just gonna pad slap then just buy $30 crap pads and get the better ones when you can do it right. $0.02.
