Make sure you machine the disc rotors, pads take a lot longer to bed-in if the surface is shiny or glazed.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

depends on what pads your using, ceramic? metalic? etc etc
if your after a good allrounder pad i like the bendix gct's (ceramics) which dont need to be bed in according to bendix, i have still done the usual bed in process a couple of times before and didnt really notice a difference between not running them in and when i fitted a set last weekend in a rush and didnt use a bedding in process

Useing the IBS brand and not to sure of the exact material . Took the rotors off to get machined like dr Terry said and pick them up in the morning at abs brakes .

ibs brand would require a normal run in process, a couple of medium-hard stops at 60, then a few more at 80 then a couple at 100 etc
should be able to get a bit of smoke off the pads

Do you have anti-squeal shims for your calipers? I machined discs and replaced pads in a HT and had terrible squealing problems from the new pads. I tried a few chemical fixes that did not work, and finally found a set of shims in a wreck that fixed the problem. Don't throw your old pads out until you are happy with the new!
