Nope dont know of any...I tried searching and asking people about it. But the best and proper way to do it is the normal method listed on the stoptech website...

Yes... give them to me. I'll break them in on the Dragon and return them once we arrive safely back in VA.

Stock pads and rotors don't really need bedding in like race pads.

That said a few hard stops from 50 to 10 wouldnt hurt.

They aren't stock...... they are the Satisified gs6 pads and powerslot rotors.

.......or does your advice pertain to this setup also??

Thanks.

Maybe I deserve that... It actually can make it down there right now. It's just that I know how I am, and for that kind of driving, no, it's not ready.

Did you read the Stoptech link? Seems a little excessive, but I'd pretty much go by that.
I followed it to a "t".........I am getting a slight squeel when the brakes are cool. Aside from that, everything went pretty smooth!

What is left to do on your car?
