This question had been brought up for quite a bit, but I don't think this is something we had (well at least me) thought of...
To save some headache, motion sickness and time (or potential tickets
), I had purchased a set of rotors (front, as it matter most) only for track days, so I don't need to stay up late for doing some bed-in before every track day.
As I was putting the rotors on yesterday, something just "dong" me, ummm, I had actually 4 pads transfer to 4 different surfaces...
Now, it's a fact that even you are swapping from same brand, old to new pads, you still need to do some good old bed-in to have a good deposit layer on the rotor surface.
My question is, since I don't label which pad is to which surface of the rotor, (I could find out if I wanted, but then since somehow it seems like not all 4 pads had the same rate of wear) So, lets say the chances of me not "matching" the pad to the 'approriate' rotor surfaces are pretty big.... So... there goes my theory of swapping rotors and pads before track day for the sake of saving time.
Anyone had any idea??
