Does anyone have any recommendations or if GM has Run-in procedures on new rotors and pads? I was asked the question by my Mechanic and he said he would look it up. I thought I would post this to see what others have done.

Yes, we are bummed we are missing out. Sounds like you will have quite a gathering. Putting the powder coated calipers with Eline slotted and drilled rotors with Posi-quiet pads. The pads had good reviews on the Corvette forums. I'll look at the R1concepts/Posi-Quiet site. They probably have something. Thanks for the info.

Hey Tim- according to the owners manual-
• Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings are not yet
broken in. Hard stops with new linings can
mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this breaking-in
guideline every time you get new brake
linings.
Mitch,
Deke said that he was going to crank up the XLR and get the pads glowing red (he was just pulling my chain). He has put the same kind on his Mazda, so he was going to run them in. They are pre-scorched which reduces run-in.
