Default Seasoning/Bedding...Day 3 (Final)

read about day 1 here

and read about day 2 here

to recap:

Day 1Wear off the plating thru 5-6 days of normal driving, then 4 normal stops from 60mph, followed by 4 medium decels from 60-15mph, then 5 minutes of no braking cool down. Then 4 semi-hard decels from 60-15mph followed by 10 minutes of no braking cooldown. The let set over nite.

Day 2 is heating them up with 4 regular stops from 60, then 4 medium decels from 60 to 15 followed by 5 minute cooldown. Then 4 semi-hard decels from 60 to 15 followed by 10 minute cooldown. Then 6 HARD decels from 60 to 15 followed by 10 minute cooldown, then sit overnite to retuen to ambient.....THEN the following day, bedding the pads can start :)

And now, day 3 This is for bedding the pads....heating them up with 4 regular stops from 60, then 4 medium-hard decels from 60 to 15 followed by 5-10 minute cooldown. 3 normal stops, then 8 successive hard, almost to the point of lockup, stops. Followed by a 10 minute cooldown and another nite of returning to ambient temps :crazy:

At least tomorrow I can test out the line lock :D
