Thanks…
No need to bed in pads, that is an internet legend that simply will not die, I wish I could find ground Zero for that myth..... The proof that bedding is BS is in every new car. No new car manufacturer recommends or does “bed in’s” on new cars. If that was the case every factory would need a bedding in facility. I have spent a ton of time at the Toyota plant in Fremont California and I can tell you they do not have a bunch of people running around slamming on the brakes on new cars.

I have done at least 200 brake jobs and I have never bed in a job. With the exception of a couple jobs where the owner used junk parts I have never had one come back. I drive the car up to highway speed and check for vibration and squeak, that’s it.

Rant off, sorry

The solution is to replace the pads and rotors with OEM Jurid in the front and Textar in the rear. Use Balo or ATE rotors. Mount pads dry (non of that anti squeak orange or blue junk) and grease ONLY the tracks of the brake caliper frame.

Use dustless pads or no name rotors will have mixed results, the above formula will not have problems if done correctly.

Good Luck !
