Default Bedding new brakes

I am upgrading my brake pades and rotors soon and naturally need to bed them... as you all know it requires multiple stop and go's from 40 and 60 mph... now for the NOVA members, have any of you done this, and if so, where is the best place to do it without Jake pulling me over!!??

I was thinking of doing it at night and just going out to 495, but if theres a better place, I would much rather do it there!

Thanks in advance!!

Depends on where in Fairfax you live. Fairfax County Parkway at night should work, and of course some places on Rt. 50, and or Rt. 123.

Depends on what pads you have...

But for street pads, ~6 60-10mph stops should work. Then park the car overnight and oila, you should be set!
