[QUOTE="Chris@FreedomMotorsports, post: 636052, member: 8341"] Agreed^^^ Proper bedding of the pads to the rotors is fairly easy. Once the installation is done you should find a place to be able to get up to 30-35mph, then HARD break down to about 15-20mph WITHOUT stopping completely. Then get up to between 40-45mph and HARD brake down to 15-20 without stopping completely. Repeat this cycle for every 10mph interval up to about 70-75mph, but be sure not to stop completely. If you stop completely during one of those cycles, you can cause hot spots in the rotors that could cause future problems. Once this cycling is done, ride around fairly easy to give the brakes a chance to cool back down and then park the truck and allow the brakes to cool completely before driving again. Please note, during this bedding in process, you WILL smell the brakes burning, but that is not a problem, it is the pads bedding in, they do need to get good and hot to properly bed into the rotors.
