Best way to Break-in Brakes ??

[Katmandu]

I just installed Performance-Friction pads all around on my 98.

What's the best way to Break-in Brakes ??

You might want to check with Performance Friction on that, depending on the grade of friction material used. But, I always 'took it easy' on new pads until they went thru several heat cycles (for out gassing of the pucks and adhesives). Also, if you installed new rotors you'll need time for the pucks to bed. I would guess-timate 50 miles of stop-and-go driving should do the trick.

Good Luck, Dave.

100-0 full peadal =) j/k on my dads car u just have to take it easy for 30-40 miles then when it hits 35-40miles go through a range of braking from like little peadl to heavy breaking and so on just be sure everything is working properly and its all seated right wouldnt be good if something wassent right and the first time u went to panick stop it failed

this may not apply since my dads car is forced to panick break every time u stop =) its also got a much more abrasive material on the pads then should ever been on a normal car lol

my shops recomended practice is take it easy on them for around 100 miles. Especialy with ceramic pads which seem to take more time to break in
