ya you dont have to slam on the brakes, just make sure you brake FIRM. also, give it a few minutes to cool off between the sets.

I did about 10 hard stops from 60-10mph and really got everything heated up. My fronts seem to have cleaned the zinc coating off completely and are shiny now, my rears still have a few small black marks in them though. Im letting them cool overnight and well see how they are during normal driving tomorrow.

And holy brake dust batman! my wheels were covered in that "new pad" dust haha. I think they are "bedded" but i have no idea.... How should i know if i need to do another set of 10 hard stops?

if the braking is better than stock, then you're fine.

not really sure about your other question with the air noise. is it "air" or are your pads touching still? maybe you put in an extra shim?

Definitly no extra shim but they may still be touching. Only 3 miles on them....

And braking is wayyyyyy better than stock. Especially pedal feel.

Have no problems with them so far.

had a "woosh" noise at first but that went away as the pads became worn down a little bit..


ill keep you guys updated on how they are.
