Default New pads chewing up my rotors!

I have a CTR brake setup and was using the stock pads without any problem.Rotors look smooth.
Then i decided to install a set of Endless SSS-Sports 0-500c pads.Well after only one week i see the rotors being chewed up!
I see lines all over the rotor.....are Endless pads suppose to do that?
Or did i not do a proper break-in?

Looks like i'm gonna get a new set of rotors sooner than i think,rotors already resurfaced once

I'll try and post up some pics.

More aggressive pad = more rotor wear. Welcome to the performance world...

Did you lube your caliper sliders and pins? May have some drag or sticking going on.

Yup, if the caliper isnt stuck, then you're experiencing normal pad wear. Agressive pads WILL eat a rotor in a hurry. Heck, I have a friend using hte Hawk SS and he has to change rotors every time he changes pads.

I have a question, how times is it possible to re-surface a rotor before we have to change them out? a friend told me a few times, but then i asked someone else and they said it depends on the damage already done to them whether or not they can be resurfaced...? anyone?
