rothers2901 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Can anyone advise on the following comment posted on http://www.350z-uk.c...81-kraziekatz1/ about beding in proceedure. I'm fitting new ones tomorrow and not read this before. (Example) multiple stops at various speeds at various pressures? 5x 50-30 light pressure 2 min run at speed, no braking 5x 70-40 med pressure 2 min run again 5x 100-50 hard as you can but no ABS Thanks.

cs2000 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Not heard of that procedure before. Ive always followed the instructions that ive seen recommended by most pad manufacturers. Somewhere between 200 and 300 mile with as gentle braking as possible, then begin bedding. 5 stops from 70-10 as hard as possible without engaging ABS done in as short a distance as possible to build heat up Drive for 30 mins without using brakes as much as possible to allow them to cool (if you stop, don't hold the pads onto the disks) Another 5 stops from 70-10 as hard as possible without engaging ABS done in as short a distance as possible to build heat up Drive again for 30 mins without using brakes as much as possible to allow them to cool. Its always served me well through several sets of pads. If doing disks at the same time I tend to increase that initial mileage to 300-400. My thoughts on the process you posted is that its generally unnecessary. Why bother with the light pressure stops? the first few hundred miles will be full of stops like that and its only purpose is to wear down the pads surface so that the surface of the pad matches to the surface of the disk, the bedding procedure transfers pad material to the disk. Totally different things. Edited April 29, 2014 by cs2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 What pads are you planning on using Martin? Generally I follow the procedure you have mentioned but for the final run I wouldn't go for as as hard a braking session, try from 70 to 30 with more pressure than you did before then drive a few miles letting them cool completely before parking up.
