I have just installed new rotors on the 914/6 3.2 (911SC brakes).
If the new rotors are broken-in with new pads then the new pads are bedded-in, how long should the pads be cooled before being used for track purposes (DE events)? or Should the new rotors be broken-in (transfer of pad material onto the brake rotor friction surface) with used pads? New Zimmerman rotors and Porterfield R4 race pads. Thanks Eddie |

I always go back to KFP pads.
Even If I've tried to bed them in repeatedly with longer and longer stops... I always find that the very first time you use them in anger or race conditions they will fade out in that first HARD, hard corner... But the next straight away between corners is all of the cool down they need. After 1 over-heat, you are good to go. I only bed pads in 1 session (qualifying or practice) now before wheel to wheel action. |
