    Looking for bedding in procedure for Porterfield C Kevlar R4S pads that are going on with new Brembo blanks. Was running Car Quest rotors and Hawk Fe-C LTS pads and that combo was terrible but still have the Hawk pad box and here is this is what it says:

    6-10 stops at 30-35 mph with moderate pressure
    2 - 3 hard stops from 40 - 45 mph
    do not drag brakes
    cool for 15 minutes

    Assume the procedure for Porterfeilds would be similar to Hawks.

    Both are Stock - built correct from the start.
    I've got them on our 3 series BMW. Have used them for our others too. Not on the Tacoma though. But, I seem to remember the breakin was something like that.
