Another ASSumable question. Did anyone BED the pads in? And do the brakes work better after you put some heat in them?

That last question is most important... because if they don't... you'll be having one of those off track excursions that nobody wants.

Yeah we need to get this figured out by next week!

I wouldn't I EXACTLY followed this bedding procedure on the Wilwood pads that came with my new rear disc kit, but have done a variation of it. :/

Another thing is the front Wilwood discs and Brand ?? pads were on the car when I got them and we have never even inspected them. I remember talking about doing that and I was considering getting better pads recently but caught up with motor stuff and just haven't gotten to it. And now here we are less than 2 weeks from Go time.

Honestly I haven't done enough brake testing to know if they get better or not with more heat. We have been playing and adjusting numerous things at all once unfortunately. Not ideal I know, but it's how it has gone.

We really need to pull the MC on the car and see what heck it is.

Thanks to both of ya for looking out. Most of this stuff is all new for me.

P.S. is it worth it, and/or even too late now, to follow that pad bedding procedure to the tee?
