**at all times when "bedding" make sure you obey local speed limits and respect other road users**

unless your using something like Performance friction discs (which are heat-treated as std) then you will have to condition the discs!!
do NOT be tempted to follow the race style bedding of short sharp shock treatment or you will most likely warp the discs or at min shorten their life

in general just use the brakes "reasonably" with no excessive or prolonged braking for the first 100-150miles, then for the next 50miles gradually build up the strength and length of the stops until you are using the brakes virtually to their full effect.........

the 'Quickfit' type recomends about having to fit new discs and pads as sets is simply an up-sell in basic terms - as long as your pads or discs have no strange wear marks or angled patterns then ideally you would fit new discs to old pads and vice-versa due to the potentially differing bedding needs

for the race/rally cars we can often simply use time to pre-bed new pads on used rotors and also then bed a spare set of rotors, etc. so they can be fitted & used instantly if required
