what i know if you drive to 60mph and brake to almost zero without letting ABS kick in, and you do this 50 times consecutively. Then drive the car for 10 miles without using the brakes as much as possible for them to cool. Then if the car will be used on a roadcourse there was an additional procedure to be done at the track.

One of the German ZR1 owners took his car to 300 and back to zero for 3 times consecutively not sure that was the best way but the trick is to get the brakes really hot for x amount of time to "cook" off the adhesives in the pad material otherwise it forms some kind of a boundary layer between the rotors and pads and what you feel is no brake force applied.

I learnt the hard way, never had to bed in an iron rotor, unless you want to use them on the track right away perhaps?
