Default Bedding in brakes

Got some new discs and (kevlar) pads up front, and s/h (almost new) discs and new pads at the rear. (Just done the rear Brembo onto classic conversion.

What's the BEST weay to bed 'em in, and avoid squaking, warping, judder, etc?

Oh, and the car has to go for an MoT before I can tax it, so I can't do much on the road............or will the brakes be OK for the MoT?

TIA, Alcazar

I used the Ferrodo race pad bedding in procedure. Apply uptp 50% pressure for between 3-5 seconds each time. Do this 20-30 times and they should be done nicely.

would not suggest doing the above with new discs or any pads other than race type materials.............you need to follow the manufacturers instructions generally

fo5r road type parts then 100-150miles of reasonable use is far better
