Break-In Procedure

To get the most out of your new brakes, follow this break-in procedure:

  • Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph to 10 mph in quick succession, avoiding complete stops.
  • Follow up with 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph, still avoiding full stops.
  • After the initial stops, drive at moderate speeds for about 5 minutes to cool the brakes down.
