Anyone know of a good place where I can bed in a new set of brake pads around Los Angeles

At night works the best for me, and I imagine it's hard to find a place quiet enough on a weekend.

Obviously I'd like to not attract the attention of any LEO's

I don't mind driving too much to get there.

It's a trap!

That section of vista del mar next to LAX has light traffic. Also on the weekends the streets south of LAX near the chevron refinery and all the aerospace firms is really quiet.

I do mine near the Boeing facility in Huntington Beach, Seal Beach. Won't tell the roads :-) lol. LONG STRAIGHT and can do it in 2 passes.

Why not just repeated hard stops from 60mph? Works fine for me without risking a night in the hoosegow

Well - it looks like Porsche recs for bedding in the brakes are multiple stops from 100 MPH to 50 MPH.

I don't think that stops from 60 are going to be nearly hot enough to do it properly

BS. You don't need to go 100mph. Over 25 years experience with it hasn't failed to be sufficient- run 60 mph- brake hard (threshold braking) to a stop. Accelerate to 60mph and brake hard again. Repeat 8-10 times. Allow brakes to cool and then you're good to go

This. Brake rotors are flaming after 8-10 60-10 threshold brakes. More than enough.
