Default ep3 rotor question

i just put on some rotora slotted rotors and pads on the front and rear about two weeks ago and I wanted to know how long it takes to break in the rotors and pads.

you can read this site: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes...s.jsp

i'd recommend this method:
Step 1: Make 10 stops from 30 mph (50 kph) down to about 10 mph (15 kph) using moderate braking pressure and allowing approximately 30 seconds between stops for cooling. Do not drag your pads during these stops. After the 10th stop, allow 15 minutes for your braking system to cool down.

Step 2: Make 5 consecutive stops from 50 mph (80 kph) down to 10 mph (15 kph). After the 5th stop, allow your braking system to cool for approximately 30 minutes. This completes the break-in of your pads to the rotor surface.

p.s. what type of pads are you using?
