That's standard bedding for any new pads. When you go out and do it. It's pretty easy to get done.

You'll just need to find an empty stretch of road to do this. Try a business/commercial area during the weekend where it's pretty dead so you can easily speed up and slow down back to back.

haha in reality most people never do this. They pick up their car from the service drive and just drive the car home. Some people will say they always do. All I would say is ask your mother if she beds in her brakes on her car, or your sister, or 99% of people. LOL Just do your best.

Yep, I do my bedding in on the freeway at night after a brake job. Little to no traffic and plenty of room to speed up/slow down.

I was told when bedding to do this.

Do a 10mph roll to stop applying very gently
do a 30mph roll to stop applying peddle a little harder
do 50mph roll and slow down not to a stop but apply harder then the 30mph breaking.
keep going up gradualy and hit breaks harder and harder.

Obviously dont slam them as you don't want to warp pads.

As everyone said above. Most people dont do this so you should be fine. I always just take heavy precaution.

I followed the Stoptech street performance instructions to the T in an industrial park by my house.
