That is basically how I have bedded-in brakes for quite a few years. However, my 6MT squeals like a stuck pig at low speeds and light brake application. Other than that, the car is perfect, I just wish it did not squeal.

Mine squeak occasionally, nothing serious at all. Of you have persistent loud noise I 'd take it in. They can readjust the pads and lubricate the components to eliminate the noise.

I had the same squealing, although I would catagorize it as screaming. It went away after about 1700 miles without any intervention or bedding

Yes I have a 6MT. And the sound has returned from the dead. It's going in for service tomorrow. I'll post the results.
