Re: How do you bed the Brembos?
Drive to 30mph, then slam on the brakes. Drive to 40mph, then slam on the brakes. Drive to 50mph, then slam on the brakes. It's a pattern like that....usually when I go to 30-40mph and slam on the brakes once or twice, it gets rid of the squeaking.
I don't think you have to worry about bedding the brakes too much because the car has Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) so the brake system is always trying to make sure all 4 pads are experiencing even wear.

Ok....first you offer to buy them a round of Tequila shooters....then you have to dance with them, preferably a slow dance......and act sensitive......
Oh wait.......Sorry...I thought you said Bimbos.
Nevermind.

Re: How do you bed the Brembos?
An even film requires that you slowly work up to 600-700F pad temperature. Each 60 mph to zero adds about 150F. ONE 120 mph to zero adds 500-600F. One 150 MPH stop adds almost 950F [at the end the rotors will be less because the air speed did some cooling] MAYBE.
Surprises occur when you exceed the previous peak temperatures [by 100F] or wait too many weeks [the transfer film wears off] between exercising the brakes.
The weight of rotors is primary determinant of rotor/pad temperature rise.

The proper technique is spelled out in detail on brembos website. I've cut and pasted it before, but this time you've gotta do the leg work.

Re: How do you bed the Brembos?
"NO MORE THAN 35-40" mph about 10 x's with intervals no more than 1/3 of a mile with 5-10mph drops. Then drive without hitting them real hard for about 300 miles. Then after 300 miles I made 3 hard 60-0 stops. (This all directly out of Stillen's book). This was the way I broke them in. But then again, maybe I am on the wrong damn topic b/c no one answered my questions about how to break the new rotors and pads in!! dam-mit! lol Anyone have any other opinions?
