Well - I was writing the above full of hope that what's happened is more or less normal, and my rotors would shine again after some driving. Unfortunately, after some 1,500 km of normal driving (and braking, of course), the rear rotors look as per the attached picture (I deliberately re-posted the picture from my OP in this thread so that there comparing is easier). The front ones are OK, though - can anyone figure why? The only explanation that I can think of is that with LSD, my rear brakes aren't engaged fully very often while the front ones are working much harder... But I'm certainly quite concerned; please advise what I should do now....
