I am not satisfied with the way my Studebaker is stopping. I have disk brakes on the front that came from an 88 Monte Carlo. As far as I know they are the stock units. I ordered a set of semi-metallic pads and cross drilled and slotted rotors. I have the pads but unfortunately the rotors are back ordered. I have my Hot August Nights trip coming next week and was really hoping to have new brakes up front before going. Now, here is my question. I am thinking of having my existing rotors turned and installing the new pads so I have them for the roughly 400 mile trip. Will it be reasonable after doing that, to install the new rotors when they come? Will I have an adverse impact from the pads getting 400 miles of use on the old rotors, some of it mountain driving?

thanks for your thoughts
