I now have the pads and discs ready to fit, although I'm a bit unsure of the bedding in procedure.

I've always used light brake for the first 100 mile then gradually work them harder but the M1144s seem to squeal, and I don't want to cause this by incorrect bedding in. Now google has returned two different trains of thought.

1.Apply 2-3 Light Applications of the brakes at 30mph down to 0mph then Apply 3-4 Steady Applications of the brakes at 70mph down to 30mph.

2.The ‘bedding in’ procedure for M1144 is the same as any standard material i.e. steady braking for the first 50 miles, avoiding emergency stops

Hmm slightly different...thoughts?

Here are some of the sites;

Did they squeal after?

Not even fitted yet, Forewarned is forearmed....

I did 3 steady stops from 30mph to 0
3 moderate stops from 70mph to 30
3 moderate stops from 100mph to 50, then I let them cool completly before using again.
They do however squeal at slow speeds when cold although i'm not convinced this has anything to do with my bedding in procedure and is just a trait of the pads.

I just took it easy for a while, getting a bit of heat into them occasionally by doing light braking dragging them.

Need a few stops to warm them up once they're bedded in, Mine squeal a bit too however i didnt fit the backing pad you get, as i figured it'd just melt anyway Lkaugh
