anything i should be considering whilst bedding in my brakes (SiTa [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img])
any tips other than take it real steady for first 100 mile, then steady for next following 400, gently introducing higher speeds?
also , what should i be doing to maintain them ?
cleaning etc.
cheers

the trick is to heat the disc then let it cool, so no pad staying on the disc when cooling
suggested method is slowing from say 70mph to say 50 slowly, then drive a while to cool, then repeat, then start braking harder, but never come to a stop as you have no air cooling

at least you get the chance to do some miles on yours - my car is locked away in the dealers for the next four days [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
