Brake bedding procedure for brembo ?

[waxxonMTL]

Just curious if theres any brake initial break-in procedure giving in the manual instruction for 3.0T ? I got the oem pad and wondering if I should do anything special on them or just go easy for the first 1000km ?

I used the following for my Brembo BBK, but it's pretty standard for most bedding procedures. I try to go from 60+ mph down to 20 mph.

Brembo Bedding Procedure

Drive vehicle to a remote area and perform at least 30 brake applications of 3 second duration. Use light/medium deceleration with varying starting speeds. Leave at least ½ mile between each brake application.

The purpose of this procedure is to gradually increase the temperature in the components without thermal shock, and to mate the brake pad and disc friction surfaces.

After the repeated stops, drive the vehicle for several miles with little or no braking in order to adequately cool the components.

Thanks for the information, I heard those before too, but I found them none logical ;

Must be different between a BBK and OEM kit sold to the average family guy. I mean, no one ask you to brake 30 times before getting home.

Especially this is way too excessive.. I mean, how many of you have their brake installed RIGHT NEXT ( because you shouldn't drive it ''normal'' before having done this procedure) to a free way where you could find over 45 miles of freeway to perform 60 to 15mph braking without disrupting any traffics. Seems like a real PITA lol. and Almost impossible for 99% of use to perform as instructed.

Edit : I found these instructions which look similar to the brembo one, but just not as *specific*, I will be good ! So far, i love these brake :)

 Drive the vehicle to a remote area and perform at least 20 brake applications of 3-second duration. Use light
deceleration with varying starting speeds. Stoplight traffic can work well for this.
 The purpose of this procedure is to gradually increase the temperature in the components without inducing
thermal shock, and to mate the brake pad and disc friction surfaces.
 After the repeated stops, drive the vehicle for several miles (on highway generally) with little or no braking in order
to adequately cool the components.
 While on highway, perform 10 braking applications using light to medium pressure for periods of about 5 seconds.
 After the above process is completed, the system is ready for normal use.
 Note that pads and discs are a set once mated together. Changing to a different pad material after the previous
material is bedded into the disc may cause pedal judder, vibration and squeal issues.

Yup, it's a bit of a PITA but the basic process is still the same. I suppose the number of times may be more/less depending on the pads. I went to a backroad to do it NOT a freeway which would be pretty dangerous LOL.
