I just installed a set of Porterfield R4S brakes in my 914-4. They didn't come with any recommendations as far as breaking them in, and I was unable to find this information on their web site. The problem is, with the new pads (on the same rotors), I can't lock up the brakes. The stock pads I replaced locked the brakes without a problem. Any suggestions?

0-80-40-80-40-80MPH .. then dont touch the pedal on the drive home. We use this procedure for Vipers/Boxsters/914's. You want to hit them hard and drop the speed to 40..then accelerate again to 80... then back down to 40 FAST.
