interesting..i have always been told to avoid what your suggesting to bed in pads as this can cause glazing...and therfore undue heating...leading to warped rotors...

well seems theres two schools of opinions out there...

looking on the web there seem to be all sorts of routines...most seem unified in hard use of the brakesi nthe first 500 miles or so (unless they are competiotion spec) is ill advised...

not to argue with Jeff, but 30mph seem to be the common recomendation rather than the 45-50 and progresive rather than hard..and to allow the rotors to cool between applications..but hey i don't know im just looking at the sites...


edit:---

try this link

http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/tech/pad_rotor_bedin_procedures.html

seems to give various pad manufactures guides and it looks like we were all right...aint life confusing!
