– 20 stops from 100km/h to appr. 50km/h with medium deceleration

– 5 stops from appr. 80km/h to appr. 30km/h with light deceleration
– 10 stops from 100km/h to appr. 50km/h with medium deceleration
– avoid follow-on stops.
– between the individual stops let the brakes cool down.
– Duration of the procedure appr. 20 minutes.
STEEL BEDDING IN PROCESS:
Step 1: While the vehicle is stationary, pump the brakes to ensure a firm pedal.
Step 2: Drive the vehicle with utmost caution and ensure the brake system is working properly.
Step 3: Applying moderate brake pressure, make 6 to 10 stops to 5 MPH (8 KM/H) from approximately 30 to 35 MPH (48 KM/H to 56 KM/H). After each stop to 5 MPH (8 KM/H), immediately accelerate back up to speed and repeat the process.
Step 4: Make 2 to 3 stops to 5 MPH (8 KM/H) from approximately 40 to 45 MPH (64 KM/H to 72 KM/H). After each stop to 5 MPH (8 KM/H), immediately accelerate back up to speed and repeat the process.
Step 5: Cruise at 45+ MPH (72+ KM/H) for 10 minutes to allow the brake system to cool.
Step 6: Inspect the rotor visually. Make sure there is an even layer of wear on the entire rotor surface. Otherwise, repeat steps 3 to 6. Inspect brake rotors frequently to avoid overheating.

Keep these videos coming says this Gallardo owner. Well narrated! Thought: Consider using a headlamp to supplement the lighting in your videos. It may help to avoid the shadows from your work light.
As great of a video as ever, many thanks! Edit: Just took a look a the video description, superbly helpful!
An idea for getting the front wheels off the ground, couldn't you raise the car using the front lift system, put in some rubber support blocks, and then "lower" the lift and have the car rest on the support blocks?
Quick jack’s And Costco sometimes has them on sale for 1000 bucks
Get a quickjack. I have a set and they are awesome. No problem with ground clearance.
Keep in mind looking at these pads, This car has over 100K miles on it. CC pads last a long time and this wear is probably not typical of what most CC brake Gallardo owners will see. But good info to share none the less. Thanks.
I like how you take your time to explain everything man
I don't think there's a channel that is this thorough when it comes to these types of cars
The Quick Jack will fit under a stock ride height Gallardo, but I am not sure about a superleggera. It lifts the entire car at once.
Do you think this purchase was worth it considering you have 300 subs and average 100 views per video? I think you snakes Dan on this car and stole his idea of making videos on the maintenance in hopes it would make you popular
Btw I agree with you about the jack, I used two jacks but by the time I got one high enough the other tire was off the ground also.
Once again,well detailed video, beautiful, I appreciate the time and effort you put in this videos, thank you again.
Good vid. Too much for me though. But glad I watched to at least understand…
I think my superL may have came with carbon but was switched out at some point to steel…do you think that's possible or am I wrong that could be done?
