[s-cars] //S8: 0 - Mk1 ZO6: 1

Paul...

That's basically the procedure StopTech recommends.  Worked great for me
with my StopTech BBK.  Axxis pads I think.

I can't remember exactly.  There was a set of how to bed in your junx
instructions online.  Might have been Ferodo literature, but it could
have been some other pad.  I'm betting it was a Hawk document or maybe
Porterfield.  I read it, it made sense at the time, so I did it, but I
don't remember the details.

Yeah, the squeal is there, and it'll stay there, but when I get annoyed
with it I just wait to brake a little later.  More pedal yields less
noise.  What can I say?  They're super hard and durable pads.  They're
gonna vibrate a little if you're not pooshing them.

-Cheers!
Mike
