anyone have a set of hawk blues i can borrow?

Anyone have a set of hawk blue front pads that fit an early 2002 wrx calipers that i could borrow to scrub my rotors?

I have uneven pad deposits on my front rotors and I'd like use a set of hawk blues to make some firm stops while cold to scrub the rotors clean. (as suggested on the stoptech website)

or if anyone has other ideas other than getting the rotors turned I'm happy to try them out!

i was hoping the hawks (since i would be running them cold) would be ridiculously abrasive and scrub off the residue from my street pad and correct the disk thickness variation that i think is causing the shudder... my current pads (brembo sport) i don't think are abrasive enough when cold to do the same thing as the hawks

that said.. i'm going to drive easy on the brakes for a couple of days to let the pads scrub a bit, then i'll do as you suggested and redo the bed in procedure
