I always try to break in any pad just like John says.
However, no matter how much break in attemps I make, it always seems that I loose my pads once the first time they get really hot on track. after that everything is fine. I've had the same lost pad experience with KFP's, RS4's, and any pad I've ever tried. for street work this never happens, but for true track work the first time I really get on the pad hot the pedal starts to go and the stopping ability is reduced. I've learned to always break pads in under practice conditions with a clear track and a run off strategy planned. After one corner of that and an easy cooling off lap everything is fine! brant |
