You forgot about putting it in service mode and if you don’t it can mess it up down the line. I fucked mine had to buy a new caliper and get it all recalibrated .

This is why if the company has the option, you pick Pre-bedded pads (Carbotech, GLOC brake pads has this option). From what I understand, if you use brand new rotors, there will initially be a few laps where your car will just naturally transfer materials to the new rotor. Then mid day when You and your car are all warmed up, the rotors are also bedded. The tricky part is getting your Track pads bedded as they are normally only going to bed at high temperatures. Therefore, Go for the Pre-bed option and don't gamble on screwing up (even though technically it isn't a hard process). - New Rotors bed naturally with use. If you are in actual racing and not for hobby, have the rotors pre-bedded for maximum reliability and consistency. - If you use Old rotors, it is recommended to clean them up with a sander and 80-50 grit sandpaper with brake clean. Then use your brake bad of choice to prevent material contamination mix. - Brake pads (track pads) need high temperature to start bedding process of the brake pad itself. The resins in it need to be burned off.

If there is no brake pressure i.e. when pump up the pedal after a brake install the car will throw codes and go into limp mode which can be hard to clear

The EBC Bluestuff pads are working out great on this. They are quiet, have great bite and the firm pedal and good bite is making driving much more fun for me. It will still need higher temp track pads for any real track work but for the street this is a solid setup with a big improvement over stock.

In Cary NC the roads are overall pretty good and the car is fairly transformed with the coilovers and brakes. Firm but not harsh. A bit of coilover clunking but so far I am liking it a lot.

Based on your prior recommendation, I ran an XP12/10 combo on KNS rotors at VIR this weekend with good results. I took the first session to bed them in, and they continued to improve throughout the weekend with transfer and heat. I was in the mostly stock Electron Blue C5 Z06.
