Brake pads break in advice?
Just changed the front brake pads of my Boxster.
Any advice for breaking in the new pads? |
I have read that you just avoid hard stopping for the first 250 miles.
I need to do the same. A few questions..... 1 - What pads did you use? 2 - Where did you get them? 3 - Did you replace the clip and bolt, or just reuse them? |
OEM pads, I used the same cliclip and bolt
|
You just want to do multiple stops from varying speeds. Start out at a slow speed with very minimal brake pressure. Then steadily increase your speeds and braking pressure. All you need is about a dozen or so stops to get the pads bed in.
You really should replace all the hardware. You can reuse the shims and just re-glue them to the new pads. Check out http://www.fastforwardparts.com/ for some good prices on OEM parts. |
Didnt know I had to buy more stuff than the brake pads so I just re used the shims and pins, they fit good though.
The car has only 10,000 miles. Any risk in re using the hardware? |
