Brake Rotor/Disc: Service and Repair
Burnishing Pads and Rotors

After brake pads have been replaced and/or rotors have been refinished, it is recommended that the new braking surface be broken in, or "burnished."
This can be accomplished by making 20 stops from 48 km/h (30 mph) using medium to firm pressure. Take care to avoid overheating the brakes.
