Bedding in new pads and disks
Discussion
Picking up my car later, had new front pads and disks (OEM) put on at my trusted local indy.
The garage owner is at SEMA so can't get his advice, I assume they will need bedding in.
What is recommended, a few sites I have found have a similar set of instructions to the below
'The procedure is several stops of increasing severity with a brief cooling period between them. After the last stop, the system should be allowed to cool to ambient temperature. Typically, a series of ten increasingly hard stops from 60mph to 5 mph with normal acceleration in between should get the job done for a high performance street pad. During pad or disc break-in, do not come to a complete stop, so plan where and when you do this procedure with care and concern for yourself and the safety of others'
Sound about right?
Car is a 2006 Mustang GT if that makes any difference.

Yep, sounds about right.
But you have to find a deserted motorway/dual carrigeway, otherwise you're just asking for an accident. Oh and be careful when you first use the brakes, they'll have very little stopping power!

The roads within 100 yards of the garage should be perfect for the above to be honest, dual carriageway with very little traffic and 2 roundabouts about 1 km apart.
