I really don’t do anything with them (my Z26 street pads). If you bed them aggressively, I am sure they will work better for a few stops. Until you lightly stop a few times and those pads strip their residue off also.

If I keep the racing rotors on it is because the residue from the Hawk pads got ripped off in some cool down lap and I did not want to go through the trouble of changing back to my Brembo rotors because the track days are stacked close. I’ll slap them on and they seem fine. It always feels so much better (smooth, don’t grab so fast) to use them compared with the nasty race pads. I simply will not change back to any clean or street wheel unless my car is wearing the Z26 pads.

Aggressive? I thought this was supposed to be done slow for about 300 miles?

My input is to follow the instructions on the box for bedding, but within those, you can choose to go to the "light" side or the heavy side.

I went to the heavy side, twice. I don't experience the subpar braking that some complain about with these pads.

Having gone through about a half dozen sets of these pads for various other reasons (two vehicles), when I've bedded lightly, they don't have much "bite" afterwards. Bed heavily, they work fine.

What I did today (actually over a month ago) was to not take the insurance coverage off of the Challenger for this winter.

With any luck that'll mean we'll actually get some snow. It kinda seems to have worked as the weather guessers are now predicting 12 to 40 inches for the next couple of days.
