You might want to buy a 2nd set of those rotors to have on hand, as the Superduty pads will cook a set of stock style rotors.
You'd be better running a stock style pad to help the longevity of the rotor.
A hard compound pad on a stock rotor will lead to heat and cracking.

That's what a Superduty pad will do to a stock rotor.
