I got a set of these pads for 30 euro's . they are racepads when i google that model i read about them messing up the rotors.
I was gonna replace all the bits of the braking but i might wait with the rotors now. anyway for 30 euro's a set i'm considering these babies.
I was wondering if anyone knows something about them

Rotors = brake disc.
A knackered old brake disc will wear out new pads quicker thats for sure.

From what i read on some other forums via google is that the pads will wear out a disk, (mark it, put stripes on it) not the other way around.
But if thats not the case on the 360 i will replace the whol shabang

My general understanding is if you put new pads onto old discs they will wear quicker due to the discs having a pre warn groove as it were.
I've no personal knowledge of what your saying, but i presume if they are proper race pads they could well heat the discs up too much causing warpage or "blue'ing"* of the surface.
* Clearly not a technical term but you know when metal gets too hot it get's blue tinged, that

I ran those pads with Lockheed discs on a road rally 360 for 2 seasons plus.
Work really well once you get some heat in 'em-pretty poor when stone cold,mind ya.
