It\u2019s better if the road is completely empty so that you reduce your risk of bumping into anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">1. Engage hard braking at 40mph.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of breaking in your brakes as an exercise. You will need to warm the system up before even trying to start the workout itself so that your car won\u2019t be shocked with the things to come. It\u2019s important to remember that you shouldn\u2019t perform a full stop while doing any of these steps (except the final step).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">2. Reach 50mph, then step on the brakes hard until you hear the engaging of the ABS.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This might make your car groan, but you have to push forward. Think of this as the main component in a workout, and repeat this step 3 times. This will actively put your brakes to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">3. Drive up to 65mph, then quickly slow your vehicle down to 15mph.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the finale, you want to reach high speeds and slow down quickly. If you can reach speeds higher than 65mph, then that would yield better results. However, we would like to remind you to employ the utmost care in driving at high speeds, as you might end up injuring others or yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">4. Let your brakes rest for 20 minutes.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cool down is important as well. The 20 minutes you spend at full stop will allow the brakes to settle into their new form, as you\u2019ve shaved off all the parts and <span id=\"urn:enhancement-0edbf7a8-760f-4bef-a81d-d15281fdc51d\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl1503827\/entity\/materials\">materials<\/span> that needed to be shaved off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking in your <span id=\"urn:enhancement-d5d0184b-3675-4ca2-b8dd-92db0607431d\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl1503827\/entity\/braking\">brake<\/span> <span id=\"urn:enhancement-80b8c1e1-3916-4c75-91d7-b6dc6de9f07f\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl1503827\/entity\/pads\">pads<\/span> is necessary in order to prevent <span id=\"urn:enhancement-fb45a54c-a8e9-4b54-9c1b-128a97873421\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl1503827\/entity\/braking\">brake<\/span> <span id=\"urn:enhancement-81360fea-d045-4c30-a7ed-6eb395aea600\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"https:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl1503827\/entity\/rotor\">rotor<\/span> warping.
