What is the recommended way of breaking in the Hawk Blue pads?

 

Generally, the best way to bed pads is to take your car out after installing them on a safe, uncrowded street and do several (about 5 or 6) stops from 30mph to 0 holding the brake pedal firmly (Not slamming it, just firmly). This will warm up the pads enough to start the outgassing process (IE: You should smell/see some smoke from the brakes). Now, take it up to 60mph and do the same thing..about 4 or 5 stops from 60 to 0 while holding the brake firmly. That is it, you are done. Well, actually, you arent done. What you want to do after this is drive for about 10-20 minutes on a highway or something (with little braking) to give the pads a chance to cool down. After that, your are done. Go inside and have a

This procedure should work for all pads (particularly race pads), but hawk might recommend a slightly different break in procedure.
