I did my last bed-in on on the I 80 toll road through Cleveland. I work in Akron so I drive 40 miles each way every day. I also work nights so when my shift ends at 1 AM I pretty much have the road to myself. I just turn on my emergency flashers and get in the slow lane. Once I finish I have a good 20 minute cool down before I get home. It works well... that is unless you have the aforementioned Duralast Gold pads like I currently do. Then your bed-in is shot to hell after 3 or 4 days of regular driving and your rotors have more glaze than a Krispy Kreme tanker truck. I'll never put another set of those pads on anything ever again.

I just got myself a complete set of BAT's EBC rotors + Mintex pads for the ST. I'm hoping to see a vast improvement once I get them installed. I can't wait to bed them in though. The first time I touch the brakes after a bed in is at the off 80 off ramp to my exit. Call me whatever you like but the suspense is something I enjoy.
