Is there a specific bed in procedure for oem brake pads like some performance pads have? or is a general bed in procedure sufficient?

general break in is fine for oem pads...
all i do at work when i swap brakes (i work for toyota) is take it for a short test drive and carefully step on the brakes a few times and they break themselves in...

I use the 30-30-30 method for non-performance pads.

30 stops from 30 mph with a 30 second cool down in between each stop.

seems very time consuming.

this is my method for ceramic brakes

i just throw them on and drive cautiously for the first 50 miles or so...

they never warp nor did they ever glaze on me...

thanks for the input guys! on that note, does everyone check rotor runout when installing new rotors?
