I tracked my z06 for several years. I used stock pads on the street and carbotech on the track. After swapping the race pads on, I'd do a lap and bed them in (several increasingly harder stops till the brakes faded or I smelled them - never stop dead while bedding in, and drive around until they are cooled off).
I probably did this pad swap 40 times and never had a single issue with the braking (beyond normal fade from overuse, later solved by cooling ducts!). I feel it is totally unnecessary to turn the rotors - all you'll do is lower their lifespan. Swap the pads, do a bed in procedure and you'll mesh the surface geometry of the pad to the rotor - whatever bumps and grooves exist will be transferred to the pad, along with some pad material to the rotor, which will aid in stopping performance. Lethal has some really great instructional videos, but he doesn't know about performance/track driving (as indicated in his April 5th brake line swap video). Know your information sources!

Wow...so I had forgotten to come back and check this thread for more replies. Good stuff here.

As said before...in my case its purely for the dust. Others may shun me for remove the stock pads, but I don't care. Getting rid of the majority of that dust will be worth it. I spend as much or more time on my wheels than cleaning the body of the car, and it doesn't have to be that way. I've got new wheels coming next week, and I don't want to be having to clean them constantly also.
