Jim,

Interesting question...  I have not heard of doing that, but it "sounds"
logical.  I know I'm careful with braking for the first light drives on
a
new set of pads - letting them bed in to the rotors.  With new rotors,
you
don't have much to "bed in" to...  One question - are these
"competition"
grade pads or stock?  That might make a difference in the answers.

On my '74 TR6 used right now for autocross, I am changing front rotors
and
putting in new pads.  Since this car is not a driver and I tow it to
event,
the pads will be brand spanking new for my next autocross event.  I have
read about sanding the pads.  Is there any particular grit or technique?
If
not, I guess I'll use something like 100 grit and just touch the face up
a
little.

This is my first post.  Thanks for having me.  I've enjoyed the posts
and
look forward to lots of correspondence as I try to keep my one time SCCA
club racer TR6 as active as possible.  Jim
