Subject: Re: Who's running ceramic pads? by CentralCoaster on 2015/5/4 20:25:17 Good info on switching back and forth between pad compounds: http://stoptech.com/technical-support ... and-procedures/bed-in-faq Cliff notes, you want to remove the previous pad residue from the rotor, or else the two differing compounds will adhere and smear unevenly, giving you vibrations. Easiest way to remove the street compound is commute with your race pads for a few days prior, but don't try to heat them up or bed them. Just drive normally, and allow the low temp abrasive action to remove the previous compound. Keep in mind your race pads may not do as well cold on the street. Then after a few days bed them in, or do it at the track on the first few laps. When going back from race to street pads, just swap em. Drive normally and don't get them really hot or bed them. The abrasive action will eventually remove the race compound. It will take longer as the street pads are not as abrasive. Or... just keep a 2nd set of rotors to match your track pads. |
