Break-In Procedure
To get the most out of your new brakes, follow this break-in procedure:
- Make 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph without allowing the brakes to cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop to prevent imprinting on the rotors.
- Continue with 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again without letting the brakes cool. You might notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
- After these initial stops, drive for about 5 minutes at moderate speed to allow the brakes to cool naturally.
- Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use your brakes as normal. Never cool your brakes with water, as this can cause damage.
