To achieve optimum performance from Antai brake pads please follow the instructions below:

1) Perform 25 to 30 trial brake applications, each of approximately 4 seconds, using around 50% of normal race pedal pressure.

To shorten the procedure applications can be made along the straights as well as through bends.

2) On completion of trial applications return to the pit lane. Inspect the surface of the brake pads from the two wheels which have been working the hardest.

There should be evidence of contact over the full pad area but without glazing. The pads are now ready to race.

Whilst we recommend that pads are inspected, if time does not allow this, assuming procedure (1) has been carried out and a short period of time has elapsed to allow the brake system to cool, the pads will be ready to race.

Important: to optimize the performance and life of both brake pads and discs, during the bedding-in period heat in the braking system should be built up progressively.

Pad wear inspection: brake pads must have at least 2mm of friction material. Excessively worn brake pads must be replaced.

Thermal paint temperature control. Using this procedure, if none of the 3 paints has changed appearance and the braking performance is not considered satisfactory, it may be necessary to reduce cooling to the discs.

If all 3 paints have changed appearance, it may be necessary to increase cooling to the discs.

Step 1: Decelerate from 35mph to 5mph - using moderate brake pressure (70-75%) Do not come to a complete stop. Gently re-accelerate to 40mph. Repeat this process 4-6 times.

Step 2: Decelerate from 45mph to 0mph - using more brake pressure (85%) Do not lock the brakes. Do not STAY stopped with your foot on the brake pedal - allow the car to roll slightly.

Gently re-accelerate to 45mph. Repeat this process 3 times.

Step 3: Drive a short distance - allowing the brakes to cool. Park the vehicle, and allow the brake system to fully cool to ambient (outside) temperatures (15-30 minutes).

While stopped, do not apply the parking brake or keep your foot on the brake pedal for extended periods of time. Your new Rofren pads are now ready for use.

SP Performance Rotor Installation Guide:

NOTE: SP Performance Rotors are direct-replacement parts. They are the same size as the FACTORY ORIGINAL parts.

If you are looking for rotors that are different diameters, thicknesses, bolt-patterns, etc. than the ORIGINAL part for the car....

We recommend that YOU determine what vehicle (year, make, model) has the rotor size that you are looking for.More information, please visit: http://www.antaibrake.com/
