New Braking System!!!

Ok so I splurged and bought new raebestos pads, drilled/slotted brembo rotors and stainless steel brake lines all the way around. They are being install as we speak....is there anything special I need to do once I get the car back other then takin it easy?

Also now that I won't have a much brake dust imma redo my 5-spoke SE stock rims. I have them graphite now and was gonna strip that and redo it the same color but maximapolka's 5th gen is lookin better and better everyday as a flat black.....any suggestions?

Takin it easy is the last thing you want to do.

There is a bedding in procedure that should be followed with all new brakes:

This is a quote (emphasis added) from step 2 on the page I linked, what do YOU think it means?

Do it HARD by pressing on the brakes firmly, just shy of locking the wheels or engaging ABS.
I thought I could avoid all confusion by posting a link to a page that describes the process perfectly, but no....
