I'll need to find an open stretch of road to properly bed the pads.

Thanks to @CSG Mike for hooking me up with these awesome pads.

The only thing left are stainless steel brake lines, hmm..
Great Ayau! I had the XP10 on my last car and I found that just driving them easy on the street for 300-500 miles was enough to break in the pads. Just use a light touch on the pedal. Think big toe, not whole leg-and-foot.
