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?

Brads got it. You have to get some heat into them, then very quickly bring them to temp and then let them cool. Don't stop the car and hold the brakes on. We sell / use a ton of Porterfields and that is the basic bed in we use.
