I have just bought a set of these for the frond of my 350. Do you guys follow the normal brake in procedure? IE 60 to 40 multiple times? Or because there a different compound use a different method? Also does anyone know the size of the cotter pins for the calipers? I want to get a few spare as when we did the rears one broke when removing it.

Theres no specific bed in procedure, the best idea is a few slow downs from say 60 to 30 with medium pressure then a few more from 70 to 20 with more pressure and then drive to let them cool. As long as you don't bring them to a halt when hot you'll be fine :)

There is a proper bedding in procedure which comes in the box.

 

Conveniently I have a box sat here.

 

Perform 25-30 trial brake application, each for approx 4 seconds using around 50% of normal race pedal pressure, check them afterwards to make sure they have a flat contact patch is the basics

 

I would follow that if you can, they will have tested different methods. In reality it will probably be fine whatever you do
