What is the proper break in for these brakes?
SunRay
I outline in my PDI Overview what I used for street NOT TRACKING.
This is the many page Doc as a PDF, lots of Pics with long captions:
This is what I did following what is in the owner's manual procedure under Tracking (suggest reading that 1st) but far fewer aggressive braking cycles:

This is what I did following what is in the owner's manual procedure under Tracking (suggest reading that 1st) but far fewer aggressive braking cycles:
- First, as the GM procedure notes, can skip Step 1 IF you have >200 miles. So, with high spots probably worn-in I started Bedding with ~200 miles in a modified Step 2 + 3 with Cool Down.
- Found a ~15 mile long two-lane road with few intersecting roads so few cars entered.
- I applied the brakes aggressively from 60 mph to 5 to 10 mph with their suggested ~0.8 “g” not activating ABS. (Note cannot stop during the whole procedure or you'll damage the layer of pad material your trying get uniform on the rotor.)
- Drove for a minute (~1 mile) to let that layer of pad material bond with the rotor. REPEATED 10 TIMES.
- Then continued to drive 5+ miles without applying the brakes to allow rotors to fully cool.
- Brakes Work Great!
