In order to clarify the official Porterfield R4-S brake pad bedding procedure, I requested the official instructions from Porterfield. Below is the text from said .pdf as well as a screen shot of the .pdf Porterfield emailed to me:
" Porterfield Bedding procedures recommendations Street pads (R4-S) are pre-bedded. Just install and drive normally and they will bed themselves in within about 100 miles. Please avoid the 60+-0 absolute stops upon first installation to see how well they stop. (Obviously if it is required for safety do so.) This can lead to glazing of the parts. Please allow the 100 or so miles to pass before being more aggressive with them."  Here's Porterfield's contact info if you wish to request the instructional .pdf:  |
