Nemesis Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 My new discs, calipers and pads have arrived from PlaysKool, the discs are coated with some black stuff to keep them pretty, here's the million dollar question, The disc instruction say be gentle and let everything bed in...... the pads instructions say get stuck in with some "burnishing". Should I put some new standard pads in first to settle the discs, then put the race pads in and burnish them, or will the race pads do the whole evolution without getting upset? Nem.....

Terryathome Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I did the full swap of discs and pads. Read the instructions on the pads, didn't get any with the discs so bedded in with the pad instructions. Worked just fine. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Change the whole lot in one go Paul. What's the black coating you speak of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ashcroft Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Like this I presume, I got mine from Luke It just means the rest of the disk won't go horrible and rusty, the pads soon cleaned up the disk surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dombanks Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 loads of people are doing these now, as barry said it leaves the hubs nice rather than rusty. i do remember reading a post on another forum where the OP was moaning that the discs were not black all the way through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKARM Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Does the coating not contaminate the pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanD Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Seems quite common practice now. Changed the disks on the the other half's Focus a few months back and they were coated in silver paint. Instructions on these said don't remove the paint just let the pads do it. Paint on the friction surface was gone after a few mins and but has so far lasted well on the rest to stop them rusting.
