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.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.

      Hi, Got the membership renewal email but haven't acted yet.  I need to change my address first. So if somebody can email me so I can change it that would be good.
