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
