Default Bedding in new rotors and ceramic pads

I've replaced my rotors with OEM ones and put Hawk ceramic pads. Any idea how to properly bed them in?

You should season the rotors before changing the pads, and then bed the pads in. At least that's how Baer recomends.

Seasoning the Rotors:

Bedding the Pads:

I didn't re-read these but I think some where in there it says not to season new rotors with new pads, but if you think about it, it happens everyday at the plant and all over the country. I doubt you would have issues either way. I'm OCD about my car so I did it their way..

Good luck, hope it helps!!

There's a video at the bottom of this page on the Hawk site - very simple procedure:
