Did you bed them in, ie give them 200 or so miles before using them hard?

Doesn't sound like the usual performance from Pagids. What type are they? We run blues on our rally car and never had any problems at all even on the Manx!

i didn't do anything like that mileage to bed them in,after the first 5 laps they seemed to get worse,can they be salvaged if they have glazed over? i have heard good reports about these pads it sounds like i ballsed up the bedding in period!
