Das Borgen Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 when new rotors (and keeping the old pads) are installed, do the used pads need to be bedded-in to the new rotors? once pads are bedded, are they fine for use on any rotor too?

BIGGU Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 AFAIK you only need to break in pads, But im sure it doesn't hurt to do the break in procedure again on the rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Carbotech sells bedded-in pads for an extra 10 bucks an axle............. I imagine the rotor doesn t make a difference I have some used 75% XP8 I was wondering if I needed to bed in...sounds like not necessary any concern with glazing a pad if you bed it multiple times?

gmann Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 if you bed it properly it shouldn't glaze. if for some reason it does just take a die grinder and scuff them up a bit and try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Rub the pads on concrete to break them in. Thats what I do everytime I get new pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 supposed to run only new pads with new rotors says who? the old pads will wear to fit the new rotor. and with those carbotechs it doesn't matter because its going to wear the rotor how it wants to anyway even if they are new pads and rotors. those compound pads are hard on rotors when they are cold until they are in their heat range.

Xyster101 Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 Breaking in pads is fun! Not worth the money and it is fun to make them smoke out on a back road. You are not running those carbotechs on the street are you? I will tell you that I did not change out my race pads (still haven't) and it makes the wheels super dirt, squeaks a ton and chews them up quick. I only will put about 500 miles by the next track day on the street, so I am not changing them out, but you daily yours (right?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
