From another thread Steering wheel jiggles. there seems to be some "brake judder" some of us are experiencing at high speeds --

is it possible to "re-bed" the brakes and get them back to normal using the "Bed in" procedure?

As you say, this may save a lot of time and money and frustration.

(I'm surprised that this post hasn't had one reply since originally posted in June -- if this is the answer to my (our) high speed braking issue, thank you for the information, NR)

You can do this procedure any time - not just with new pads.

As soon as any of my employees complain about "judder" or "pulsing" or say the words "warped disc", I take the vehicle out to a country road and bed in the brakes.

Warped discs are rare on street cars and are mainly caused by technicians lugging the nuts on with an air wrench with no torque settings.

I have saved thousands of dollars with this basic procedure. And - I enjoy doing it.
