Do Endless Sss Pads Need Bedding?

I haven't put my pads in yet but when I do am I suppose to bed them in? I'm not sure because on the instructions it says:

This product needs a warm-up drive right after the replacement.

* Since the brake pad does not bite the disc rotor right after changing the brake pad, the braking force is low.

Driving at 45km/h, from 20 to 30  times of usual braking are needed to be done as a warm-up.

Make sure the braking force becomes stronger after the warm-up.

* Avoid hard driving until the driving distance gets more than 40km after replacing the brake pad.

:)

What do you guys reckon?

Bed them in properly. A number of people have put details instructions in english you can understand on here somewhere.

I suggest you don't bed them in with normal driving or by being a wuss. Put it this way, smoke when bedding in is not bad. (later it is)

Yeah the whole purpose of bedding is to get the pads to deposit some resin onto the rotor. To get this happening you need to do some pretty hard repetitive stops (but not over the top). That way you'll get the most from your pads.

What i normally do is brake from high speed, anywhere from 100-160ks/h to around 40, and do that a few times, gets them red hot... then drive for a few mins without using brakes at all, lets them cool down, that usually does it.

no, the japlish instructions are just trying to warn you not to drive out of your driveway, take it up to 150 and expect to be able to stop in a real hurry. They dont reccomend a 'proper' bedding procedure because it probably contravenes road laws. saying that they will need 20 or 30 stops is the next best thing. obviously a much faster way is 2 or 3 nice hard stops like was suggested above. I've used the endless SSS and they are a pretty good pad. certainly at the upper end of what i would use on street. but not really good on track (well not on the GTR anyway). They are a great pad for some spirited road driving though.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
