So you are saying you need to live in the middle of Kansas where there is no traffic to do the break in procedure for these breaks. I bought these about a year ago have have never installed them because there isn't a place within 50 miles to do this procedure without causing an accident.
Just put these on my f350 and the only thing the shop told me was that I need to put about 500 on the truck for break in for the brakes. Drove it around from the shop braking and stopping. When I got home I could smell the brakes and they were hot to hot to touch hot. So when I park my truck I always put the parking brake on now wondering if they were to hot to do that from the brake end.
@@dsa420meh7 they’re equal or better than OEM as far as brake pedal feel but there is definitely a lot less brake dust which again was my main reason for changing the brakes I was tired of cleaning my wheels after every time I drove the car
What will happen if the mechanic didnt follow these instructions? Just went out and ran a few 35 to 0 and kept driving a few more miles? Are these brakes now ruined?
Can you tell me about the approximate distance it took to do the break-in procedure, not counting the cool down period? One mile, two miles, three miles?? How about the total distance with cool down period? Thanks.
There really is no "distance" requirements. I took the car down to a long road with no stop lights and did it there. Maybe a half mile or so for the actually stopping, then a 5 or so mile drive home to cool them
@@SEsGarage Thanks! The reason I asked is because there are a lot of people that don't have access to "a long road with no stop lights" because they live in big cities that are crowded. When these brakes are installed, the break in procedure needs to be done right away for optimum best results. I wanted to know about how much road that is going to take because I am going to get these installed on my 4x4 truck soon and can't drive 50 miles away to a long road with no stop lights to do it. It looks like I will wait until late at night and go out to the highway and go for it and hope I don't get busted by a cop.
@@mybro727 The auto shop that installed these did the break-in procedure for me and the brakes work Awesome. I can tell a huge difference with these brakes compared to the stock brakes, plus I love the red calipers. Were you able to do the break-in procedure successfully?
@@djlcruze That’s great. Yes, when I got off work yesterday I waited until right before dark and took a back road and tried my best to complete the 10 decelerations without interfering with traffic too much and then drove around for about 5-10 mins to give them time to cool. They feel better than the stock ones I replaced for sure!
@@SEsGarage Won't that small layer of pad on the rotors surface be rubbed off with regular driving and brake usage? Does one need to periodically do the brake in procedure?
the video i was looking for wasnt sure about the instructions but you sir made everything easy. thank you
You're welcome!
I love how smooth that engine sounds

I don’t get how your supposed to properly break these in when you live in a big city either
I used an empty loading area behind my local big box store went back and forth down the lane doing the 5 stops each then drove away worked perfect
A mall at night. Don’t overthink this one.
When you go to the dealer, the dealer guy does it for you before giving the car back 💡
I am in the same boat with you. try that breakin where I live and you and a dozen other will be dead.

would be nice to have a update on the quality and feel of those brakes
I’ve only put around three or 400 miles on the kit but so far they seem great. Car stops as it should
@@SEsGarage so not much diffrent then oem
@@dsa420meh7 they’re equal or better than OEM as far as brake pedal feel but there is definitely a lot less brake dust which again was my main reason for changing the brakes I was tired of cleaning my wheels after every time I drove the car
I just got mine done. I read as a daily should be fine but if you plan to track the car i wouldnt do it with the pads.
Did you do this as soon after you installed the brakes or drove like 70 miles first
I did this as well...and I have a clicking noise now while braking...😞

This isn’t 100% necessary. The brakes will “bed in” on their own with normal driving. This just accelerates the process
can you tell diff in braking?

@@djlcruze good luck. I just got mine installed today. Gonna make my attempt at this break-in in a few mins. What’s the update?

Is it rust proof?
I don’t think there is such thing as rust proof. But they are coated to prevent rust
Can't you just let them break in by slow easy driving ?
The idea is to transfer a small layer of pad onto the rotor surface, and they need to be heat cycled for that to happen
@@SEsGarage Won't that small layer of pad on the rotors surface be rubbed off with regular driving and brake usage? Does one need to periodically do the brake in procedure?
@@raczyk usually during normal driving you won’t get the brakes hot enough for this to occur
