Very nice, did you do the 10mins bed-in.

here is how:
1. From 60mph, gently apply the brakes a couple of times to bring them up to operating temperature. This prevents you from thermally shocking the rotors and pads in the next steps.

2. Make eight to ten near-stops from 60mph to about 10-15 mph. Do it HARD by pressing the brakes firmly, but do not lock the wheels or engage ABS. At the end of each slowdown, immediately accelerate back to 60mph and then apply the brakes again. DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP! If you stop completely and sit with your foot on the brake pedal, you will imprint pad material onto the hot rotors, which could lead to vibration and uneven braking.

3. The brakes may begin to fade after the 7th or 8th near-stop. This fade will stabilize, but not completely go away until the brakes have fully cooled. A strong smell from the brakes, and even some smoke, is normal.

4. After the last near-stop, accelerate back up to speed and cruise for a while, using the brakes as little as possible. The brakes need only a few minutes to cool down. Try not to become trapped in traffic or come to a complete stop while the brakes are still very hot.

5. If full race pads, such as Hawk DTC-70 or Performance Friction PFC01 are being used, add four near-stops from 80 to 10 mph.

lol you will need more than 500 miles cos you do long trips and not need to brake.

Brembo's always look cool.

But 375 sounds like a weird size, sure it's not 380 (15")??

XDEEDUBBX · 10-24-2011, 10:34 AM

im jealous! Congrats on the huge brakes!

Thanks bros.
The rotors are tailor made to fit the wheel gap, not from Brembo.

I don't think you can because the hand brake is computer controlled.
but you can change to better pads.
