G-LOC brake pads preparation

[WildHorse]

The instructions say to hand sand my rotors with 80 grit sandpaper.

For bedding I read this:

https://www.g-locbrakes.com/faqwd/whats-proper-way-bed-g-loc-r-series-compounds

Which also states "do not bed pads on the street". Which is a problem cause I don't trailer
my car anywhere. Has anybody bedded these pads on the street ? If so, what's the
step-by-step ? Thanks.

Look closely at top of the boxes, it says that pads are pre-bedded. You have same sticker I'm pretty sure

You need a sequence of increasingly high speed 75% power (i.e. just below ABS) stops, back to back without stopping at all, so your options to do this on the street surely pretty limited. Where you can go up to 100mph a half dozen to dozen or so times stabbing the brakes that hard without somebody rear ending you or calling the cops? Then you need to get the car cooled down enough and park it for 30 minutes to finish cooling. You're looking for an even blue-colored deposit on all the rotors.

I've done it on a Texas Mexican tollway access road, late enough at night, because there were some U turns where I knew I wouldn't have to stop.

Depending on the pad compounds you had most recently, resurfacing the rotors is either going to be really really important or possibly a non-issue. Since you're using these on track, I'd take it srsly.

But they say pre-bedded. I'm still on the original pads.

Oh gotcha. Well just (attempt) to surface the rotors and call it a day.

Ok, way, way too noisy. So went and bought some Premium Ceramic brake pads ha-ha.
