Iv always slowly bedded in my brakes, always get good performance from them. Seems quite a lot of info on that site just about bedding in brakes though.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Wow, that looks like a short and concise read. Bedding in of brakes is always highly contended, had a chat with a guy from Carbotech once who said it was completely pointless until you got up to fairly silly brakes, and that he finds it hilarious when people ask about how to bed in their £20 Pagid pads and standard discs as all they're actually doing is glazing them over and making them worse a lot of the time. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

What about bedding in new pads with old usable disks, this is where bedding in does makes a difference.________________________________________ Pug fee`ver,Pick a Bogey, buy a Pug.

Interesting find.  It's surprising just how little the average driver knows about fairly important things such as this. similarly the mechanics who typically fit new disks and pads to these cars - have you ever heard a kwik-fit mechanic tell a customer that they should go and set their new brake pads on fire?beez_neez_gt wrote: What about bedding in new pads with old usable disks, this is where bedding in does makes a difference. The issue there isn't so much the burnishing as it outlined in the video, but more the contour matching of the 2 surfaces which happens fairly quickly. That is unless you've changed to a different pad compound in which case just go through the whole procedure from scratch as appropriate for your new compound. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |
