EBC Redstuff pads and turbo grooved disks
Just had these fitted to the fronts of my UK Classic. Anyone know what the bedding-in procedure is - generally, or are there specific things I should be doing with these?
Cheers

I was also advised that if parking on a slope to let the car roll a few inches forward (after stopping) before applying the handbrake so that the pads are able to dissipate any heat more evenly across the discs and thereby reduce the possiblity of warping.
Don't know if there is any validity in this though.

( Just brake earlier and more gently than you normally do.)
And that's what I forgot to ask about. Reassuring to know - many thanks...
