New Pads and Rotors

Well I have my new Brembo Rotors and Metal Master Pads sitting here. Tomorrow I was gonna go out and just go at it, replace the front pads and rotors. Then I got reading and saw some stuff mentioned about breaking the rotors/pads in before replacing the other. But then wouldnt that mess the new ones up? My front rotors are warped, so if I put pads on, wouldnt that start messing the rotors up? On the other hand, I could put the rotors on first with the old pads and break in the rotors, but I'm not really sure what good that would do? Any suggestions? Oh yeah, how long do you think it would take to do the front ones? Thanks in advance!

I did my pads/rotors all at the same time. Your rotors should have come with a sheet describing what to do for the break in period. Follow that TO A T.

Oh yeah, it does! I was so busy reading the instructions it comes with, I missed the bottom part about the "running-in" period. Oh well. Next time I'll read closer.
