Good Evening Peeps,

Had the front discs and pads on my V70 T5 upgraded today - 302mm Black Diamond Discs, Black Diamond Predator Pads, S/S Braided Goodridge Pipes and DOT5.1 Fluid.
Was expecting an instant mindblowing improvement but am a bit disappointed at the moment (might be something to do with the excelent brakes on the Golf GTI the mechanic lent me for the day!!). The brakes on my T5 are no better than they were before they were changed!
The mechanic has told me to be patient and not to judge them until they have had time to bed-in properly. He also advised me to be relatively gentle on them for the first couple of hundred miles.
How long does it take for brakes to bed-in properly and is there anything I should be doing to assist the process in the meantime?

Look forward to any advice!

Cheers,
John.
