x-drilled rotor break in

I just purchased a set of KVR x-drilled rotors for my 85 Gs. I was wondering what process do I need to do to break them in. Or can I do it just like im burnishing the pads??

Read all of it! BTW, if you're not familiar with Carroll Smith, then go buy one of his Tune to Win books!

You break them in by throwing them away and buying some cheaper, stronger, better Brembo blanks...

I've actually had more trouble with uneven pad film layers with Brembo blanks than with the stock Mazda rotors!
