Blaine's guidance on BP beak-in

"I have good success with 15-20 easy to moderate stops from 30-35 down to 3 mph.

Don't stop anywhere during that process and rest your foot on the brake. If you have to stop, use the parking brake to hold you until you can move again. Do the stops back to back if you can.

After the last one, get it out in higher speed traffic where you can drive for about 10 minutes or so at 60+ mph to cool the rotors down.

After the cool down interval, do a moderate to serious stop from 60 to 3 mph, again without resting your foot on the pedal after the stop.

Do that twice and go for another cool down run. After that, you should be highly impressed with your brakes, surprised in fact."
