Break-In Procedure
To get the most out of your new brake kit, follow this break-in procedure:
- Complete 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in quick succession, allowing no cooling between stops. Avoid coming to a complete stop during this process.
- Next, perform 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph without letting the brakes cool. You might notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up—this is normal.
- After these initial stops, drive your vehicle for about 5 minutes at moderate speed to let the brakes cool down. Avoid stopping completely during this phase.
- Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use the brakes normally. Never cool your brakes with water, as this can cause damage.
