Don't be to gentle, will be best after cooling down from thier first roasting, during bedding in the pads will actually transfer some material onto the disc surface.
Ferrodo, I get FREE, but don't use them myself, why someone thinks touring car brakes are relavant to road brake temperatures, just goes to show why somepeople pick the stuff assuming it's better because it's more expensive, now let's see.
A manufacturer makes a product and has the chance to sell it at any price he wishes, wonder what he'll do, interesting to note yellowstuff IS police approved not one single ferrodo is.
I used DS2000/2500 and found them to have zero feel, took ages to warm up then another 5 minutes later they faded, was always fading them on the road, only happened once with the yellows.
I gave them away as I did my 1155, to al ie retro al, had a few hundred on them that's all, would buy and use many many others before using FREE ferrodo.
