Default Brake bedding
I saw info on how to bed new brake pads with new rotors but now I can't seem to find it. Anyone know where the info is at?

That was a good link. It was for seasoning the rotors but it ended before the brake bedding procedure. Any more info?

What did the pad manufacturer have to say? Most stock pads are install and just drive with X amount of mileage for brake in. Race pads differ depending on the Manufacturer .I run Pagid race pads exclusively . If you were to bed stock pads according to Pagid Race pads you would have brake fade on stock pads by the second attempt .

Just take it easy for the first 150 miles, they say stop-and-go is better than highway, but don't get them too hot.

Yeah that one is good. Still don't know if bedding is necessary with the Hawk performance street pads though. I know that I have to season the rotors though.
