I don't think you would be able to see pad residue on the rotor in all cases. I am not positive though. Someone who knows better may chime in on this one.
I just keep going back to the fact that if your X was stopping fine before the brakes change, then something you did must be off a little bit. I changed all 4 rotors and pads and broke them in with Dave Z's recommendation and everything worked like a champ. No noise, vibration or pulling at all. I used Centric rotors though, they don't have that think zinc coating on them. It could be a crazy coincedence and you have an issue with a suspension component, but I would stick with the brakes first.
When you do the rebedding process, you can use the brakes after you do the 8 (or whatever #) stops, just don't sit at a stoplight the brakes held. That is when the pad material will transfer. You can also use the steptronic trans mode to downshift and instead of braking.
