What I usually do is,

about 30, threshold stops.

60-5mph x10
50-5mph x10
40-5mph x10

Without letting the brakes cool.

The method you use to bed the pads isn't as important as the idea of bedding them. As long as you get them good and hot, they should be smoking and the smell should make you gag, then you have put a good cycle onto them.

The process you use to get there should really depend on your environment. But companies like Brembo and Stoptech will give you instructions for people who don't really understand how to get them hot, so they have a sort of checklist to follow.

But once you understand the method, you can alter it to fit your roads, parking lot, etc.

Basically it's..
Drive real fast, stand on brakes, repeat.
Do this about 30 times, no limo stopping from varying top speeds and you should be fine.

When you do finish, don't use e-brake and drive a little bit to cool the brakes, but be careful cause you will get a lot of travel in the pedal so avoid areas with people and objects.

You'll know if you done it right if smoke is billowing from the car and you can taste the brakes.
