Break-in brake pads?

Is there any break-in procedure for new pads/resurfaced discs like there is for new discs?....or do I just drive as normal...Fast and Furious!

Thanks, Jim

The idea is to wear them into full overall contact. A few severe brake applications is the shot. Light pressure first up tends to put a glaze on the pads, rather than wear them in.
