    Bedding & Posi-Quiet Ceramics

    So I just finished installing new Posi-Quiet Ceramics and Centric slotted & drilled rotors all around.

    Should I be bedding these? Centric seems to suggest no; but I wonder if I should just follow the Stoptech procedure (some initial heat, then 8-10 repeated 60-20 brakings, then cool, then repeat).

    Any thoughts? What have you other PQC owners done?

    thanks

    Bruce and I bedded them after install, yes. Just regular rotors though, but I don't think that makes a difference.

    Ok, so I just went out and followed the stoptech bedding instructions twice. Feels great now, much better than before the bedding.

    thanks all

    Should always bed them in. Especially when both surfaces are brand new

    Hi Ray, it made a big difference. I was worried when I took it for a quick first drive to remove the zinc coating, I felt that it felt "vibratey" and "grindey". When I went for my bedding run, that feeling decreased with each "stop", and was gone by the 4th or 5th. I did 10, drove for 5 mins at steady highway speeds, then did another set of 10, drove for another 5 mins and then came home and parked.

    I bed in all brake pads, oem or not. Especially with new rotors and pads.

    Yeah the first time with new surfaces, they tend to vibrate violently. Start to wonder did I install them wrong haha
