Hi gang! Just finished rebuilding my rear drum brakes with OEM shoes and hardware from NAPA, plus a couple new wheel cylinders. Upgraded fronts to 80mm using thePerformance Friction Pads (52.20). One rear drum had to be very lightly machines, the rest of the drums just scuffed with emery cloth. Didn't do anything to discs as the PF site said not to withthe ceramic metallic pads

What steps would you guys that have replaced these items recommend for bedding in the pads and shoes? The PF site recommended some increasingly aggressive stops from 50-30, 70-30 then 100-30 (which I immediaey scratched off the list).

Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!
