Default Brake seating

Help please...

I just got my car on Friday !

How long does it take to properly seat in the brakes? Is the a proper procedure?

Thanks all

Now going to drive!

dont worry about seating the brakes, just be easy on the clutch and the motor for the first 600 miles. by doing that, you'll be fine on the brakes and they will be seat themselves. some of the track and street-track pads need to be seated properly to ensure a compatible surface for friction build up to occur - otherwise, some pads *can* crumble or just go to waste.

but, then again.. the best quote I've heard so far is:

"seated? the pads were seated by the second lap around the track!"
