Looks bedded to me! 
What kind of brake fade were you getting at the end of that? I know my current brake setup (cheap Autozone pads, fixing that when I put the 5 lug swap on) would have faded into oblivion by then.
Also, your sig doesn't say what kind of pads you keep on there.

Haven't we ALL heard this
I had some genric pads on my TII...after some serious back road flogging I could get the rotors to glow and smoke to come from my pads...lots of it.
And dude...I know you love you mom...but if you make one more thread that starts, "Look mom...." We are gonna start thinkn' you miss her in that....special way

my car has some silly autozone pads from the last owner.. slotted rotors and better pads are in the mix.... those pictures were after breaking hard twice.. but i know my pads are kinda low i can hear the heat build up at normal driving.

The best rotors are good vented blanks. If I were to do a lot of track work, I'd get the two piece rotors (the rotor is free to expand without warping things), but a slotted/crossdrilled rotor is an expensive way to break a rotor when you actually put it to use.

^ yeah that was the idea, but as he just mentioned, new brake pad compounds don't produce the amount of gas old ones did. So really the only benefit is increased cooling which is then countered by the less friction surface. Good to know, thanks for the info.

looking at some ebay slotted rotors... emailed ...response....."Yes, we do offer Axxis ultimate brake pads. However, we do not recommend ceramic pads on our rotors. We suggest Axxis Metal master pads. The ceramic pads eat up the rotors faster and when they heat up they tend to not grip as well and causes brake fade. Please let us know which one you are interested in and the year, make and model of your vehicle and we will give you a quote. Thank you so much for emailing us with your questions. Please let us know if you have any other questions and we’ll address them. We hope to hear from you soon."
