Well...just dont slam on your brakes after you install them,lol. You can either glaze your rotors, or pads, forgot which it was.
Take it easy, as they dont grip as good as they will after you have wore them in a little.

You certainly do want to break them in. They will perform and last longer. For a good site, check out:
