I don't really recall the speed. Probably a 3 or 4. I just used the slowest speed in which the pad would rotate with only the weight of the machine. FYI, my PC came from Griots as well. UC/UP (like M105/205) should work up fine. I did a one stepper with D151 followed by the M21 on my daughters daily driver not long ago and it turned out pretty good. Look for the 'saving my daughters car' thread. All done with the Griots DA and a combo of LC Hydro and Griots pads.
