I would bed the pads whenever I switched from street pads to race pads just to make sure all the street material was off the rotors...braking hard for a slow turn from high speed is not the time to find out you should have bedded the pads

I have heard from race pad to street pad same rotor no, but from street pad to race pad same rotor yes and it might even be a good idea to do a double bedding in process to remove what the street pads leave behind.

I personally have not done this yet but will be doing it soon as I put 350mm Girodiscs on all 4 corners and new stock pads all around because I could not stand the pagids noise on the street. I will be doing an event early Oct so the time will come to slide the pagids back in and i will do a double bed process on these new rotors.

Not sure if this is the right section to post this question. Mods feel free to move it.
Yes, you need to do this.
