    I haven't driven with them yet.
    What is the proper procedure to break the rotors in?

    i know its stupid to assume, but you did new pads as well right?

    i was just easy on mine for a hundred miles (not slamming on the brakes)..and theyve been perfect ever since. pretty standard really

    no i didnt cahnge them, the wagner thermoquiets i have on there have less than 10K miles on them. i sanded them down a little to get rid of the old grooves.

    i thought rotors have a break in of like 5-10 stops from 45 or so.

    are you planning on just keeping the plastidip for winter only? Not a huge fan of the black rims.

    that was the plan, but im not sure yet, ive gotten alot of compliments on them so far. depending on how they hold up, i might just redo them for the summer too.

    i didnt do anything with mine honestly...and neither have any other friends that have done the same thing. just took it easy for the pads to break in, but you wont have that issue. powerslot makes a great product

    i just looked it up and most say you dont have get new pads with new rotors so that should be fine.

    but i read this article.

    Power Slot Installation and Overview

    so im not sure if they did the break in process becuase of the new rotors or becuase of new pads and rotors?
