But it has been about 1000 miles of city, traffic and mountain driving, and still not improvement. I have also done a faster bedding procedure where I push the brakes hard from 60mph to 10mph for 10 times and driving afterwards fkr the brakes to cool down before stopping again. Another thing to consider is that the disks need to be replaced anyways, so I don't really want the pads to mate to the current discs. I guess the real question is can I change only discs and expect better braking, or should I change both discs and pads (again)?
