Heat 'em up with repeated thrashings but DO NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP!
or you risk leaving a deposit on the rotor in that spot. I did a few 30-5mph slow downs in my neighborhood then took it out on a highway and did 50-20, 70-20, right on up to about 110-20 then drove without much braking for about 10 minutes then repeated. So far so good :-)

Oh, you may want to wait on those heavy stops. The Zimmerman instructions I rcv'd instructed no
hard/emergency braking for the 1st 200 miles. So in this case, not sure where to give precedence...to the pad instructions or the rotor instructions. Was it Allroad'Ed that staggered the rotor-front pad replacement?
