    to break in the brakes, I know for the performance brakes in my Saturn there was specific amount of 60 to 10mph events and then a cool down cruise, that what I was talking about, or if ya'll ever did that.

    thanks Tony

    Do a couple of near-stops from 40 mph, then do a complete stop from 40 mph.

    THEN, drive for 15 minutes or so hitting the breaks as little as possible. A nice stretch of little used road is best here. so don't try this on the 405 in L.A. !!

    What Dennis Says Is About The Same As I Do, Not Much Too It. Just Take The Glaze Off Your Pads.
