Are Premium-Grade High-Quality parts really worth it?
The ‘Lifetime Warranty’ Myth For general information on how disc brakes work – Read This: http://www.brakeinfo.com or http://auto.howstuffworks.com/disc-brake.htm Brake Pad Bedding-in: For optimal use of any given brake system, the pads and rotor have to be compatible with each other. The bed-in procedure establishes that compatibility between the pad and rotor. This is achieved by a combination of rubbing speed, temperature, line pressure, and Inertia. Bed-in is also influenced by pad and rotor material chemistries. It is always recommended that only compatible pads and rotors be used in any given application. Bedding in advantages: 1. Gradually heat treats the rotor and eliminates any thermal shock in the rotor. 2. Burn off volatiles and moisture from the resin that is near pad surface. This will eliminate green fade. 3. Establish a layer of transfer film about a few microns thick on the rotor surface. Shearing of the film during friction is an effective source of friction force. Oth
