Brake Pad Break-in

[Rams-n-Hogs]

I'm getting ready to put a new set of pads on the front of my Mustang GT. When I did that on my other Mustang, less than 5000 miles later, the rotors were warped. I don't want the same thing to happen to this one. There is nothing wrong with the rotors right now. I am replacing them with OEM pads. I probably won't turn the rotors, just clean them up. What is the best way to break in the new pads? I have done numerous break jobs, including my truck, and the previous Mustang is the only one I have ever had this problem with. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Breaking in

Make three quick stops,(don't slide the tires) from about 40 mph (in an area where you won't get rearended) and if it doesn't pull to one side or the other you are good to go. bg
