Simon,
How you bed in pads is usually dependent on the type of brake pad. I have had very good luck just following manufacturer recommendations, which usually go something like this (each mfg. will spec a different speed and number of repetitions, hence they x, y, and z)
1) perform X number medium brake applications, from Y mph down to Z mph, without ever coming to a complete stop.
2) drive for a number of miles without using the brakes to allow them to cool down from this first heat cycling.
3) That's it, you're done.
For what it's worth, I have been extremely happy with Centerline's carbo-metallic pads on my GTV. Good track/street pad that has a lot of initial bite on the street without needing to be heated up first. Dust - a lot better than some pads, but certainly they dust some.
