There is much tribalism around how to bed in rotors. I've not found any value
in it but I still give it a try occasionally.
My thought is that the first few stops with new pads and rotors should probably
not be panic stops or descents down long grades while holding the car at speed
only with the brakes. Beyond that it doesn't seem to matter. Probably best to
follow whatever the manufacturer recommends.

I have read something about bedding them in. Supposed to make about 10
slow downs but not come to a complete stop so the pad does not sit on
there and imprint material on the rotor. I have actually never followed
this procedure before. I may have to replace these cheap rotors and
actually go thru the bed in procedure.
