oh yeah, i knew i forgot something. i can't say what the dealer did immediately after installation, or if bedding in is part of the test drive after. however, he is aware of proper bed in procedures as we had to do them with the previous rotors. mild braking at first, avoiding coming to a dead stop as much as possible, no hard stops for 300km or so (he did this for 500km) and avoiding long stops from anything above 100km/h (let engine do some of the braking before using the brakes), increase brake pressures eventually. from what he tells me he's diligent about all of that, and the rotors were great for 13k or so this time around
