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.

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

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

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
