I said above my bedding-in procedure for the Pagids may not have been as thorough as it should have been. Recently I read what I consider to be the definitive article on brakes, care and feeding and brake problems. I would probably work harder next time to get even more heat into the pads during the bed-in process. If you're installing street pads you might get by without any bed-in procedure at all. If, on the other hand, you're installing race pads, you must bed them in!! Failure to do so can cause "green fade" on the track - this is bad news, potentially life threatening. At a minimum, failure to follow proper bed-in procedure dramatically increases the likelihood of uneven tansfer of material between pad and rotor, leading to hot spots, vibration, and rotor damage.
