Whenever possible use seasoned rotors with new pads or used pads in good condition to season new rotors. Also, it's best to avoid extremely hard braking during a rotor's initial break-in session. If you take the time to break in new rotors or pads properly they will last longer and perform better. http://www.bimmerhaus.com/tech/season.html |
Shoot, I have always been told that if you are swapping pads for track use, swap the rotors too, so that you have a set (rotor and Pads) for each usage. One set of rotors and pads for track, another set for the street. That required only once bedding in pads to a specific rotor. They do come from the factory with new rotors and new pads...
