   Give them a good few hundred miles to wear in if i were you, i usually do about 500-600 just to be on the safe side.
   
   Dont start pushing them within that time or they might start to warp as they are new, tbh standard saxo brakes suck anyway.

   I ran my discs in for approx 150 miles before i used them heavy, they are ok, not warped or anything, but i am not using standard discs.
