You have to drive for 20 or 30 miles to wear off the coating before following the bed in procedure.

The extra noise could be from the drilled rotors (which I don't recommend to anyone) or it could be from high spots on the pads if your old rotors weren't perfectly flat.

Ok, did the bedding in procedure, have about 100+ miles on them so far and still have the scrapping sound. If it's high spots on the pads, how long before they start to seat on the rotors?? Or should I just replace the pads? there is about 8300 miles on these ones, they are the stock pads.

I wasn't sure about that process, because the pads were not new, but I see now that they still recommend it. I will give it a try
