Hi Everyone,
I hope we are all safe and well.
I’ve recently collected my Reyland 380mm discs for my car, they will be paired with Brembo rears and I’m getting the Ferrodo DS Performance pads all around.
Now I just await the pad warning before I fit them / get them fitted. Still not sure whether I’m going to change them myself or get the independent to do it. Obviously a totally different brake setup on the front axle but it looks a simpler setup if anything and if I do it myself, I can take every precaution not to damage the calliper paint haha. Which just leaves my bedding in concerns....
My question is what is the bedding in procedure? I’ve read online that Ferrodo seem to recommend 25-30 50% pedal applications from about 60mph-10mph. This is one of my fears, glazing the pads and then me being responsible rather than the indi.
How strict is this procedure and how soon does it have to be done? We have short stretches of dual carriageway around me but to be able to drive more than a couple miles and not see a roundabout I’d be driving half an hour to a trunk road. Is this going to have a negative impact on the pads before I am able to perform the bedding procedure? Apologies I’m new to the bedding in of performance pads.
Thanks in advance,
Matt.
