Re: Carbone Lorraine RC5+ - Pictures & Review

According to the theory you are currently employing, bedding in the pads probably won't help, because you will immediately grind it off driving race pads in the cold. Race pads can be very abrasive in the cold and are meant to be used very hot. I'm guessing your squeaks won't go away, and the same concept behind the sintered pad scrubbing off pad transfer will cause your rotors to quickly get chewed up.

They may do the trick, but I think for daily driving a street pad is still better, because that is what they are designed for. Hang onto these for track days. I think the articles you linked are directed towards people using pads for the track, and not all the time on the street.
