I believe they're the same brakes. I don't see why they wouldn't be. S430 and S500 brakes look completely identical.

UMMMM
NO the pads sweep the rotors. They are designed to cover an area of the rotor.
Why not leave them alone or maybe clean the calipers and paint them red.
Something safe like that
