Default Did my rotors and pads last night.

Well I did my first rotors and pad swap on my teg. I had never done one and was quite suprised at the ease of it and I was quite happy with the results when I was finished. Installed some brembo blanks and OE pads. Nopi shipped in 3 days props to them. Anyways they seem to be working great I am taking it easy on them right now. I drove them to school today and everything was working good. Do you guys think I should bleed my brakes today. (dont know the last time they were bled).

It might not be a bad idea to bleed them. I would do it, better safe than sorry. Do a search and find the correct order to do them for you car.

Why does it matter if I do it today or saturday? And by recouperating do you mean letting it sit and not driving it, because i will be driving it this weekend.

just regualr DOT 3/4 fliud will be fine. DO NOT GET DOT 5.0/5.1. There is no need for it in a daily drive and 5.0 will react with 3 and eat away at rubber seals

i did not bed the pads. I put some anti squeel component on the pads is that what you mean? If I did not do this is it going to be trouble?

Ya I just read that article and I did a couple 40-0 and 60-0 stops but didnt do it 10 times. Is it ok to do it tonight? I have been taking it really easy on my brakes right now. If I do the bedding in after having been using the breaks softly for just today will i be ok?
