Break-In Procedure

To ensure optimal performance, follow this break-in procedure:

  • Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph to 10 mph in rapid succession. Avoid coming to a complete stop during this process.
  • Next, complete 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph without letting the brakes cool. You may notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
  • After these initial stops, drive for about 5 minutes at a moderate speed without overheating the brakes or stopping completely. This cooling stage is crucial.
  • Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use your brakes normally. Remember, never cool your brakes with water!

Fitment
