I have always been told > new discs > new pads.
I had to wait 7 days for my pads after I fitted the discs so drove with the old ones on, they made the discs look awful.
No panic, but point 2 on the AP website also mentions it

1144's are not the equivalent to ds2500's, you should have tried 1155's if you wanted similar performance.
