Help with BRZ Stop tech brake kit upgrade issues
 
Yesterday my friend and i replaced all 4 rotors and pads on my BRZ. We use the stop tech kit upgrade with the slotted rotors and pads.

During installation, we noticed that the pads where tight in the front. But we continue with installation and put on the wheel/tire set.

After 5-10min driving, my steering wheel started vibrating and i had to pull over on the highway. I noticed smoke coming out of the front brakes and smell like burnt rubber.

Called up some friend to come help us and with minor tools we sanded down the pads so it can fit less tight.

Drove the car again and after a few mins the steering wheel started vibrating again :( . This time was the rear set. Looks like the rear parking brake was engage and it was causing the rotors/boot to burnt. We fixed that and car running fine now.

Now, my question is can anyone advise if the rotors look good now or are they mess up? They look like a lot of scratches and one of them shows signs of burnt on the rotors and boot. Car is braking fine now and i dont hear any weird noises.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

there is no noise anymore. It appears to brake fine now. I mostly asking about the current state of the rotors, since i can see some burnt mark one of them.

Your rotors are not even broken in yet! Just keep driving :)
