Review on 🔥 Enhanced Performance Brake Kit - Power Stop KOE2163 Autospecialty Front Replacement with OE Brake Rotors & Ceramic Brake Pads by Tim Crowder

Just set about 500 miles for break-in time and everything seems fine. I recommend lapping brake discs. Any time you install new rotors, pads, or both, it's a good idea to break in the new brakes. Brake lapping is just a technical term used to explain the failure of your new brakes. Brake lapping helps transfer an even layer of brake pad material to the brake disc, resulting in smoother braking operation and increased stopping power. An even layer of pad material on the brake disc is essential to minimize brake squeal and vibration. You need a good stretch of road and no traffic for this procedure. Use common sense and take precautions as BrakePerformance is not responsible for erratic driving, accidents or damage. As soon as you start braking, pad friction strips the zinc from the pad surface, turning it silver, and the holes, slots and the rest of the rotor are plated in your chosen color. Perform 3-4 medium stops. from 45 km/h. Slightly more aggressive than normal braking. You don't have to stop at every crossing. As a result, the brake rotors are heated to a temperature so that they are not subjected to a sudden thermal shock. Make 8-10 aggressive stops from 60 mph to 15 mph. These half stops require you to be firm and aggressive, but not to the point where the ABS kicks in and locks the wheels. It's important to note that you're not making a point, but a half stop (15 mph). Accelerate to 60mph once slowed to a half stop. The brake pads and rotors are very hot at this point, and sitting in one spot will cause the pad material to be unevenly pressed onto the surface. This can cause vibration and uneven braking. You may notice that after the 6th or 7th pass your brakes are slacking and smoking at times. This damping will stabilize and gradually disappear as your brakes cool to normal operating temperature. Drive carefully as your brakes may feel softer over the next few minutes. Try not to stop completely and find a section of road where you can coast for 5-10 minutes, preferably without using the brakes. After the running-in process, your brake discs may show a slight bluish cast and a gray haze. The blue tint indicates your rotor has reached the appropriate temperature during the lapping process, while the gray foil is pad transfer material. Some cars and trucks require two lapping cycles. This can happen if you use old brake discs with new brake pads or new brake discs with old pads. This can also be the case if you think you didn't fully warm up the brakes on the first lap maneuver. In any case, it requires that you wait at least 10-15 minutes between each cycle as you don't want them to overlap.
