quick, probably dumb question.
is it possible to bed-in brakes after having them installed for about 5k miles?
cuz i know most of you know about my weird, hard to describe sensation I get when I brake sometimes. last night I decided to do the bed in procedure on the pads. and after driving on them for about 3 miles after wards they felt smooth when stopping everytime. btw I have (for those of you that don't look in profiles: Axxis carbon/ceramic and powerslot rotors)

Rep Power: 424 You can only bed them in if you:
a) just installed them
b) turn the rotors
Other than that, you're not really bedding them in, because after a bunch of stops, they're "bedded" regardless of if you did it right or not.

Rep Power: 288 I figured as much. if anything I probably either f'ed em up more than they already are, or was able to take off some of the pad material that was on the rotor itself then.
