Car has 3000 miles and about 2000 on cool carbons. After coming home I took pads off and they were glazed over pretty bad.... I guess it could be improper bedding that didn't prepare them properly for the heat at the track?
I use Ferodo and never have an issue. My guess is the compound on cool carbon couldn't handle the heat; it most likely started to melt and left a lot of residues on the rotor, which caused the judder. I had the same issue with Axxis ULT but judder should go away after a few days of driving or when the residues wear off. Go get some real track pads from Hawk, Ferodo, or PFC.
