[Shotimes] 96 SHO Brakes

[Carl Prochilo]

You should be able to.  I can do it, but I have to stand on the brakes
pretty hard.  The other simple type of test is to get one side of the car
on a different surface (I like grass) and stand on the brakes and you can
easily feel the ABS go to work.

As for "bedding", try this.

Good luck with AZ.
