Break-In Procedure

To ensure your new brakes perform at their best, follow this break-in procedure:

  • Start with 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in quick succession. Avoid coming to a complete stop during this process to prevent brake judder.
  • Next, complete 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph without letting the brakes cool. You may notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
  • Afterward, drive your vehicle for about 5 minutes at moderate speed without excessive braking to allow for cooling.
  • Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use your brakes normally. Avoid using water to cool the brakes, as this can cause damage.
