About Bedding-in
Competition-use brake pads need to go through a process to be pre-heated before a race to exhibit its full potential. This process is called bedding-in.
《 Method of bedding-in 》
Raise the brake disc temperature to around 500℃ without doing any hard braking; seating the discs and pads. Once the seating is finished, bring the car to a complete stop and let the discs cool by air till the disc temperature is below 100℃.Now there is a film of the brake pad's compound on the disc; the bedding-in process is complete.
- ※Select Part #'s have ceramic coated back plates; to prevent heat being transferred to the brake caliper pistons.
- ※These brake pads are purpose-built for competition-use. The characteristics of the brake pads may differ depending on car, setting, brake settings, race circuit, and driver.
Please contact our company for more information and to choose the brake pads that are right for you.
