312mm bedding in

Hi I've just had the 312mm brake conversion with ATE disks and Ferrodo Ds2500 pads also Whiteline ARB :D. I haven't really driven it properly yet because waiting for brakes to bed in but the cornering is a lot better now even on standard FR suspension.

I've read that you should put a heat cycle through the brakes but braking from 60 to 10mph a few times in a row then let them cool, but also been told to take it easy on the brakes for first 100miles until they bed in, so just want to know the correct way?

thanks

Just drive normaly and dont do any hard stopping (like from 100 to 0) for the first 100 miles or so and you'll be fine mate.
