You’re correct. They’re talking about “bedding” or sintering brake pads and that was common when less advanced materials were used to make pads and rotors. Now when you over heat a new efficient pad/rotor when they’re new is forms a crystalline in the semi-metallic pads and ruins them. If you’re sintering the ceramic pads a similar process occurs but it does drastically reduce the life of the hardware by doing so. No needs for warning them up boys. That’s old school. Btw the Powerstop products all suck. Spend the money on the thickest oem or better rotors and a good set of pads, upgrade your Dot fluid when applicable and bleed properly. That’ll do it.
We only use prescorched ceramic pads also, don't like issues with cheap pads and ones that don't come with abutment plates either. You should definitely flush fluids if it's THAT bad , unless ur doing severe duty usually no need to bleed em tho.
