I have a stretch of road I drive to the lake hard. Low traffic.

Not 100% safe but pretty good. I have never really felt any. Stock pads stock rotors on LNF.

stock pads / rotors best setup with the brembos for 99% of us.

When replacing rotors and/or pads I bed my brakes on a stretch of toll road near my house that is wide open and pretty smooth. I do about 5 to 6 back to back full-on stops from 120 to 10 (without invoking ABS). For race pads I do 10 such back-to-back stops. NEVER ONCE did I have brake fade during this procedure. Which illustrates just how hard road tracks are on brakes.

Got my brake ducts yesterday!
If time permits, we'll throw them on the car tomorrow after we complete installing my custom front mount oil cooler. I'm excited

The instructions from CED on installing the brembo kit provide a 'break in' procedure and states to stop firmly from 30 to almost 0 (do not let the brakes lock or actually stop the car) multiple times. 10ish iirc...

120mph just seems a little excessive lol
