my brakes are shot and these finally arrived. i would like to throw them on real quick before i go out later.

when i bought my last set 2 years ago, they included a little card outlining how to break them in. i followed this to a T and those things were excellent for a long *** time. i can't remember what it was and cobalt is not going to answer until monday.

anyone know? i remember going up to 60 and stopping but i forget how many times & what else i did.

TIA

 

I read in another thread that the new cobalts dont need to be broken in

just put them in and run 'em. they used to have a bedding in prosedure card in the box. there isnt one anymore because you don't need to.

 

there is no break in required if the replacement pads are being used on rotors which already had the same cobalt compound.

Seeing that all of the cobalt compounds were changed, a break in will be required if you are using the same rotors from another pad.

If you use these new pads with new rotors, there is NO break in required.

 

I would bed them anyway. It shouldn't hurt anything by doing so, and it may prevent shudder from uneven brake pad deposits on the surface of the rotors.

You can use the bedding procedure on Stoptech's website.

doesn't happen with the new cobalts, at least on the race compounds. We have ran a lot of the new pads with no bedding procedure, and there is not shudder
