From talking to a brake engineer, each manufacturer has their own bedding in recommendations, but the recommendations are NOT super scientific. In general a few easy stops from ~20 and moderate stops from ~40 without dragging the brakes. Before bedding them in again, I would resurface the rotors and hit them with brake cleaner.

I agree with everything, but... Ehhhhhh. Hell with resurfacing, too much work, brake glazing/bedding happens, OP obviously lives by the autobahn that has a red light at the end, lol, so he should just go back, do a nice hard 100 to 10mph, then drive for a few miles to cool the brakes.



OP, what pads are you using? I feel you have a cheap pad... Or you really DO live off the autobahn... Lol

haha . The pads I got are stop tech . I haven't gotten a chance to heat these fuckers up but I'm hoping that's what fixes the issue . and no I don't live near the autobahn , I just ****** up and when I was doing the bedding process I probably didn't let them cool off enough and ended up parking with the brakes still hot .

Autobahn is my way of saying you didn't speed on public roads

well of course I don't live near the autobahn but I did go there . it's a 30 min drive safety first

update :

drove the car last night and did bedding procedure . Looks like the pad transfer is almost completely gone . very little signs of what was there before . heated them up pretty good and let them cool

I also did torque to right specs ..thanks for your Input because I do hear stories of that being the reason for most warped rotors .

Ya, many of them have a bedding compound on the pads too. If that has already been worn away, you might have issues getting them to bed properly as well.
