Break-In Procedure

To ensure optimal performance, follow these steps during the break-in period:

  1. Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph to 10 mph in quick succession without allowing the brakes to cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop if possible.
  2. Continue with 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, again in rapid succession. You may notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
  3. After these stops, drive for about 5 minutes at moderate speed without excessive braking to allow the brakes to cool down.
  4. Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can begin using your brakes normally. Avoid cooling them with water, as this can cause damage.
