Just drive it normally, and by normal I mean the average driver, not the XR6TURBO.COM hoon you are.Once the surfaces have 'mated' you should be able to feel it, bit llike new disks and pads. One day they're crap and the next they're lovely.

To bed it in, it should not take more than a dozen takeoffs or a couple of hill starts.
