Installed the wilwood shims.



Prior to bedding, the brakes were quiet until u start using them. 1-2 times is enough to make them squeal like crazy.

I went to bed the brakes using the following procedure.
Using 60-80% of pedal pressure, decrease the car speed from 80 km/h (50 mph) to 20 km/h (12 mph). Repeat this process 7-9 times.
Do not drive the car to a complete stop as this will increase rapidly the temperature of the pad.
Repeat the procedure from 120 km/h (75 mph) to 80 km/h (50 mph), and from 120 km/h (75 mph) to 20 km/h (12 mph).

After bedding they SCREAM!!

The rotors looked like this after I cooled them down by driving on the freeway for 10 min


I'm not sure if this means the pads are overheating or I need to continue the bedding process.

Any ideas?
