See the Bed-In procedure below for Carbotech Brake Pads. The Bed-In procedure for the Bobcat Street pad is different from the track type pads (AX6, XP8, XP10, XP12, and XP16) - see the appropriate procedure below.

NOTES
MINI recommends NEW rotors when installing new brake pads. MINI factory does not recommend 'Turning' of MINI rotors.
We recommend the use of 'anti-squeal' compound, available at your local auto parts store.

Brake Fluid should be changed/flushed every two year, more often if you track your car.

For the Bobcat Street Pads - use caution when driving immediately after installing new pads - brake efficiency, noise, and dusting will not be optimal until the pads are 'broken in'. As the Pads are broken in, brake feel will improve, any 'squealing' noises will diminish, and the amount of brake dust will be reduced.
