What is a pre-burnished brake pad?
Some brake pads are pre-burnished during the manufacturing process. Pads that are pre-burnished in this way have had high temperature applied to the rubbing surface to simulate the first few engagements on an actual racecar. The process will allow the pad to break-in quickly and to begin working more effectively in a shorter time. Pre-burnished pads still need to be properly bedded to help assure that the pad and the rotor have an opportunity to mate correctly.
