Default Bedding ceramic brake pads
Do you have to bed ceramic pads the same way you do regular pads with the 60 mph to 5 mph stop progression? I've read about the process here for regular pads, but I'm curious if you need to do the same thing with ceramic pads since they are a different material, and they respond differently to heat.

What, no one has these? Someone has to know what the procedure is when you install these with new rotors.

For optimal performance, I always bed in new brake pads and rotors, regardless of the composition.
