How this:

All I do is find a road with little to no traffic on it.

With the car going 55-65 MPH Left foot brake while keeping your right foot down on the gas. DO this with heavy brake pedal effort for 5 seconds at a time. Use the throttle to try to maintain steady speeds...Do this 3xs quickly then drive around and let them cool off. Repeat above a 2nd series of 5-7 sec applications.

If you do this correctly your pads and rotors will get stinking hot and they will be bedded.

I've been bedding pads like this for 30 years. Works awesome...
