Default Breaking In Pistons, Rods, Rings

I've read something about breaking it in by driving the car hard and also people say alot of stop and go driving. What do you guys think? Also, how long does it take to break them in?

thats so old... you guys realize there is a certain oil that breaks your motor in.. just by driving it normally...one of my friends bought a brand new rsx....and he asked for the oil to break the motor in.. and after 100 miles with it.. it was all set..
