What "bed in" methode do people use/ reccommend for new rotors and pads. Rotors are slotted/ dimpled (mostly for looks) pads are RS4's.
Thanks

Hope these help... over all I have had about 1" drop in front and 1.2" in rear... really hoping that the front will settle some more or I may shim up the rear a bit.

Quick question that I couldn't google an answer to....
Any differences between the springs on the LGT vs the SpecB? Rates? Height?

I put on the H&R springs (rated to provide 1.5" drop) and I got a 3/4" drop on the front and about the same on the rear. Right now my rear is .25" lower than the front. Spec B's start taller than GT's from the get go. Something like .5" i think. (I'd have to check my manual.
That said while not a very big diff in looks they are proving to be a bit stiffer in ride and a massive difference in handling! Car feels more like my wife's Mini Cooper S in the corners. (Hers is still faster in the corners though. )I can't wait for spring to really push it and see what I can do.
Here is the wiki of rates for other springs though...
