Brake Pad "bedding"
For those that have replaced their own brake pads, how many of you bedded in your brakes? If you have, where did you do it?
The following is the procedure recommended by StopTech. It doesn't sound like something you want to do on I-64.
"For a typical performance brake system using street-performance pads, a series of ten partial braking events, from 60mph down to 10mph, will typically raise the temperature of the brake components sufficiently to be considered one bed-in set. Each of the ten partial braking events should achieve moderate-to-high deceleration (about 80 to 90% of the deceleration required to lock up the brakes and/or to engage the ABS), and they should be made one after the other, without allowing the brakes to cool in between."

It does help with pedal feel a little though.
