| I've been "bedding in" brakes for years after learning the benifits from racing stock cars. I have actually EXPLODED a brake rotor on my race car by not doing any "bedding" or hard stopping before the racing events started for the night. What I found out from the rotor manufacturer was that by not "bedding in" or "heat cycling" my brakes before severe use, the rotor exploded because the moisture in the rotor (from the manufacturing process) expanded at such a great rate that it destroyed the rotor. This is something I remember whenever I put new rotors on ANYTHING! A few easy stops with cooling intervals, then I can "bed" them in. Just something I learned the hard way.
