Thanks

 

depends... what kind of pads are they?

 

ususally the rule is to drive them easy for a few days or 100 miles after that they will be fine

 

No extremely hard braking for the first 100-300 miles, but if you have to obviously use them as replacing brakes/rotors is a hell of a lot cheaper than your car .

 

I've never broken in stock pads and stock rotors. Put them in, and drive. Never had a problem. Then again, I drive normally from A to B.

 

they're Brembo blanks and Hawk pads

 

so i guess it's don't brake too hard for 100-300 miles then.

 

I dont know about that easy braking stuff.
I road race/ autoX just about every weekend of the month. I dont break in pads or anything like that. A matter a fact, i dont even drive the car on the street. So the only braking the pads get is on the track. On i guess i brake them in driving the car up on the trailor
Just my two cents, but i dont think they really need a brake in.

It is hard to believe that no one seems to know this.

After the pads and rotors have been installed to 5 - 10 25mph to 2mph runs, do not come to a complete stop because it may create a groove in the rotor. After this, you should be just fine.

 

Yup, hes got the answer^^^^^

true, take it from like 25 down to 2-3mph with out coming to a complete stop, do this like 10 times and it will properly break them in
