Different pads have different methods of bedding in. What pads?

street pads I just drive for what it's worth and try to avoid hard stops

race pads I just beat the **** out of on the street for a few days before going to the track

I'm sure my method isn't the best from an engineering/scientific point of view, but whatever.

I'd have to say you're probably right (not that I'm an engineer either).

If you have a question about bedding in pads, Andie @ Cobalt Friction is the guy you need to talk to. He is a brake god.

The axxis pads come with very detailed instructions in the box. I helped a buddy of mine bed in his ultimates, fun fun fun
There is alot of research and technology that went into those pads so bed them in the correct way to take advantage of that good luck

Not sure of the exact link you are looking for on Carbotech's website, sorry; ask username MaddMatt for that information.
