Parts including new rear pads totalled about 480. They look great and pedal feel was improved. My old pads were worn but not beyond the wear limit (~9.2-9.6mm including backing plate -- spec min is 7mm) but the pedal feel is much firmer.
Stoptech fronts w/axxis ultimates
S8 rears with stock s4 pads
Rob's pic but mine looks similar (except mine are painted black which looks better, IMO) Thanks, Rob

And I quote, "the pedal feel is much firmer. " ;)
Most likely it was due to the new pads. My pedal had been feeling a bit soft since i got the car back up but i couldn't remember exactly what it felt like before. Anyways, the rotor/pad swap seemed to firm up a bit last night with no bleed.
