Essex has nice instructions and theory on bedding new pads on their site. If I understand (disclaimer - not an engineering type), after bedding a pad and laying down a transfer layer, driving at street speeds erases the transfer layer through friction. A new transfer layer must be re-created by putting heat into the brakes through a bedding-in procedure. The cycle can be repeated. However, track pads will likely have undesirable characteristics when used on the street.

Do those procedures not apply with Carbotech pads? Why must the disc be resurfaced or new if stock pads have been used when changing to Carbotech pads?

Anyone know what happens if one DOESN'T follow their bedding procedures?

Will the world really end?
