Default Replaced brake pads, tire rack says moderate driving for akebono pads...

for 400-500 miles to bed them in, or do I perform a series of stops as I have read elsewhere.

TIA

Default I always bed pads in. streets: ~50-5 mph until you smell them. track: a couple at the end of 80-5

maybe do it a second time if they don't feel right the next time you drive it.
