New Zimmerman front brake rotors were just installed on my 914/6 3.2 (conversion) DE car. It is using 911SC brakes front and rear with Porterfield R4 race pads.
The old rotors had developed a bad vibration and were worn beyond spec after 5 years of track use, so no chance of having them turned (again). Should the rotors be run in with new pads or old (60%) pads. I will be attending a DE day on friday and the new pads need to be heat cycled before the event. I do not think it is advisable to heat cycle the new pads on brand new rotors. Your opinions, experiences or expert advise is appreciated. Thanks in advance. Eddie |

QUOTE Use the old pads first. It always works better. Nada... use your new pads as "both" need to be bedded in/seasoned properly "together". http://www.pmbperformance.com/page/page/1492423.htm |
