What is the proper break in pocedure for new pads and rotors? i have heard many differing opinions. Also I am getting a bit of a squeal should this go away once break in is complete?

There is only one way to prevent this sort of thing - following proper break in procedures for both pad and disc. All high performance after market discs and pads should come with both installation and break in instructions. The procedures are very similar between manufacturers. With respect to the pads, the bonding resins must be burned off relatively slowly to avoid both fade and uneven deposits. The procedure is several stops of increasing severity with a brief cooling period between them. After the last stop, the system should be allowed to cool to ambient temperature. Typically, a series of ten increasingly hard stops from 60mph to 5 mph with normal acceleration in between should get the job done for a high performance street pad. During pad or disc break-in, do not come to a complete stop, so plan where and when you do this procedure with care and concern for yourself and the safety of others. If you come to a complete stop before the break-in process is completed there is the chance for the non-uniform pad material transfer to take place and the results will be what the whole process is trying to avoid. Game over.

Good luck

 

Thanks Ill head for a big parking lot after work

 

I did the described break in and my pads are still squeaking like crazy. Argh! I cant catch a break with these brakes.
