I wish I had a chance to put on the 17's, but no such luck.....

I go to school 400km's from my garage where all my car stuff is stored...makes for a pita sometimes.

if you're pads are well bedded and heat cycled...

all of the resin and other "smoke agents" will have been cooked out, resulting in better stops and no smoke.

after a pad change i do my normal bedding procedure: 15 90-15mph stops (by then the rotors are glowing and pads smoking (maybe smoldering) followed by a long (30 min cool down drive with little to zero brake use). over the next few days i'll do a few medium duty canyon runs (where the rotors start to glow, but just barley) after that, pads and rotors are ready for track use. enjoy!
