Just wondering what you guys think about different bedding techniques, what works the best etc. I have read a lot of different things so I am just trying to gather a general consensus.

I just through bleeding my brakes after putting in a line-lock and bleeding was pretty much the standard way........Start right rear, left rear, right front, left front. At times the master cylinder may need to be bled depending on what you may have installed. Bleed until the brake pedal is firm. Remember to keep a eye on the fluid level as you bleed. Hope this helps.

ok on there is says to never bed pads that have been seasoned, so is this to say that I can't bed my new pads on my new rotors?

It says to never bed pads on rotors that HAVEN'T been seasoned. Why not season the rotors? You're doing a little bedding anyway. The reason is that bedding pads will get the rotors hotter than seasoning them, and bedding them could cause the rotors to warp (if not now, sooner).

I started seasoning rotors a few years ago and haven't had any warped rotors since.
