Notes On Bedding In New Brake Pads

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2004 Porsche Boxster, 2003 Porsche Boxster, 2002 Porsche Boxster, 2001 Porsche Boxster, and 2000 Porsche Boxster. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In the case of the perforated (holed) friction plate, the contact pattern of newly installed brake pads adapts more quickly to the wear profile of the previously operated brake disc than is the case with smooth brake discs.

In general, the following applies: New brake pads must be worn in (bedding-in period), their optimum braking effect is therefore not reached until after a few hundred kilometers. The slightly reduced braking effect must be compensated for by increased pressure on the brake pedal. The same also applies after a brake disc change.
