I was wondering if one needs to bed the rear brakes after changing/replacing it? If so, what would the procedures be, lift the ebrake to condition it?

Thanks

 

it depends on the brakes you bought

 

I bought the brembo blanks and pbr/axxis metal masters

 

ride em easy for the first 150 miles or so, then go ahead and drive normal

 

pretty much.. on the new rotors, you don't want to get them too hot. usually I recommend 3-400 miles before really beating on them, but they're rear rotors and don't get that hot anyway..

once the rotors are seasoned by the mileage, then you can heat up the pads and bed them in properly. just drive along at 60mph or so and pull your ebrake up for 5-10 seconds at a time.. let it off for 10-15 seconds then do it again. do that 6-8 times and the pads are ready for any abuse you can give them.. be sure to keep driving for 10-20 minutes or so to let the rotors cool down. If you stop the car with the hot rotors, you will leave an imprint of the pad on there and ruin the rotors almost immediately.

(thus.. never set your parking brake when your brakes are really hot. leave it in gear or put a block of wood/rock/whatever behind the tire so it doesn't roll.)

 

Could that be why my car shakes like a ****, when I bring it down from speed?

 

possibly.

could also be worn suspension crapola on the fornt or back. ball joints, tie rods, warped rotors, deposits on the rotors, suspension bushings, etc etc etc.

 

pretty sure mine is on the front because I feel it through the steering wheel.
I'm planning on doing your brake upgrade soon though Looks like all I'll need is the brackets

 

or could it be my ever so worn axles gotta do those soon.

 

yeah.. could be axles as well.

 

Thanks guys for all your help. Buta.....one thing I kinda bedded my front ones once I got them on and followed the procedure according to this..

Could there be problems down the road? Right now I got the blue tint with grey on top like it says but I'm a bit worried now.

Again thanks guys
