How do you bed PFC 97's?
I can't seem to find instructions in the box or on the site. This is my first set. Do you bed them the same as other pads?
Thanks, Sean

I follow this procedure for race pads. I just do the first set of 10 stops from 60-10 and don't do the 4 80-10mph stops. I have been told that this is okay because the 97's are preburnished and there aren't any good roads near me to do the 80-10 stops anyway. I have never had a problem with them using this procedure. |

They are pre-bedded....use them as you normallly would for a couple laps...come in, for 5 minutes or so.....go out and race on 'em....I have been using PCF 97 and 01 compunds this way for 2 seasons and they have given me excellent service.

They are preburnished - meaning the pad material has been heated up to operating temps at the factory. I believe they should still be bedded in to transfer the pad material to the rotor properly which is why I use the 10 stop method I described above. Maybe just running them for a session is good enough, but bedding them in properly is pretty easy and you have nothing to lose by doing it.
