New rotors /pads / stainless steel lines having issues!

Did they send you bedding in instructions with the brakes? Looks like the pads weren't bedded properly and a lot of material transferred over. Or you were on the autobaughn

Did they send you bedding in instructions with the brakes? Looks like the pads weren't bedded properly and a lot of material transferred over. Or you were on the autobaughn and slammed on the brakes and sat there for a while.

I'd say hit them with fine grit sandpaper to get that stuff off of there and try again. What brand pads does their kit come with?

FWIW, I run Z1 slotted rotors at the track with PFC pads and OEM brake lines and have never had any problems like what you are showing.

Yeah guys . All the rotors have these markings (like the pad sat there and burned lol)

I figured it's pad transfer which I never had a problem with in the past on my other z's.

I did do the bedding procedure (I never did it before why lie)
but the first few stops I did 60 to 0 like a rookie and later read it's not supposed to be a full stop .

at this point should I do the bedding procedure all over ?

Right now the car obviously pulses when I brake at low speeds . The rotors are the performance ones z1 offers with the whole kit . only thing I changed was upgraded the pads to stop tech

thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate any input

I think the problem was I slammed on brakes when they were hot while I was improperly bedding them . ( came to full stop after they were hot)

lmao "eyes popped out "

I'll hit the autobahn again then and re do this.
How many times should I brake ? ( read up that it's 60 to 30 right ?)

I'm assuming that should remove the big *** black pad I left on all rotors and get rid of the steering vibration and pulsing
