HAWK PERFORMANCE - Racing Brake Pad Burnishing Procedures:

To achieve the highest level of performance from you new Hawk race pads it is highly reommended that the pads be bedded-in against the rotor they will be used with.  This process will allow a transfer film to be generated at the pad and the rotor interface and help assure optimal performance when using new or used rotors.

Step 1.   Seal all brake ducts if applicable

Step 2.   At medium speeds slowly engage brakes 6 to 8 times without coming to a stop. Do not drag brakes.

Step 3.   Increase speed to simulate race conditions.  At near race speed engage the brakes 6 to 8 times wtihout coming to a stop. Do not drag brakes.

Step 4.  Allow system to cool by immediately parking car for 15 minutes or as long as possible.  Do not engage brakes during this time.  Remove duct seals.
