dangerman Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hello people, Received by new ads from CS earlier this week. I'm fitting them in right now. Anyone have any instructions for a standard bedding-in procedure. I read somewhere that you have to do 25-30 trial brake applications. Is this really necessary? Many thanks...

martinmac Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Phils instructions to me were up to 60 ish and breake not stopping. upt to 60 and repeat three times at least.

xStric9x Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I think if you don't bed them in as you are supposed to you will leave a foot print on the disc and it will cause the car to judder under braking If bedded in correctly you should have a blue tint on your disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Glad you got the pads... As per the guides... On a clear stretch of road take the car up to 70mph brake firmly but not aggressively down to 30mph drive 1/4 mile and repeat about 5 times then drive gently to allow the brakes to cool. At no point come to a complete rest with your foot still on the brake pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I used the same procedure Alex posted, but only used one cycle not two. Cant see it does any damage just doing one. Just remember not to allow the car to stop while your foot is on the brake as you will imprint a pad shaped load of material onto the disk and it will feel like you have warped it. I did this first time around and it take much effort to get it off again! Once you have them done, they are awesome pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerman Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks guys. Looks like everything is ok... apart from one thing. There is a really sharp squeal as the car comes to a standstill - from around 15 - 10 mph to 0 mph. Is this lack of grease or something else. I really hoped I wouldn't have to deal with this.

lotuscc Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Lots of forum members have reported that these pads squeal - it is a known problem. Mysteriously some do, some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you follow the bedding in procedure to the letter? I had this exact same probem, went out and bedded them in again and they have been fine ever since. Every other person who has said about the squealing (bar Sarnie ) has bedded them in again and been fine from what I know. Go give em a good ragging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I started getting a squeal last week in my pads, never had it before, but I’m putting it down to the wet/cold weather… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
