Wow, awesome! Hopefully everything's cool... cuz finding the source of a problem by process of elimination could take a while.

To break in new rotors, drive to about 45-50 mph and bring the car to a stop using gentle braking. Drive for 5-10 minutes to let the brakes cool. Repeat this 9-10 times. No hard braking during the first 500 miles or so thereafter.

well, 20 mph isn't too bad... don't sweat it. Just go easy on them for the time being.
