does anyone have a link explaining the best way to bed in the pads?

This is how carbotech recommend to do it :

In order to achieve maximum brake pad life and performance, it is necessary to properly "bed-in" your new brake pads. In general, the more aggressive a pad compound is (i.e. higher coefficient of friction and compound material density), the more aggressive the bedding in process needs to be.

 

For Carbotech Engineering's Super Street-F (7266), Panther (1104), and Panther Plus (1106) compounds, you should use the following bedding in process:

(1) Brake from 50mph down to 10mph using moderate pedal pressure.

Repeat this process 6 to 8 times in succession. (2) Cool down the brakes by driving for 10-15 minutes on the highway.

Avoid having to use the brakes during this cool-down period.

(3) Repeat step (1), but use very heavy pedal pressure.

Brakes may fade during this set of braking, so please use caution.

(4) Repeat step (2).

(5) Park the car for 4 to 6 hours after the brakes are cooled down.

Allowing the pads to "rest" overnight is preferred.

Cars with a curb weight of over 3000lb. may require one "light" track session to sufficiently heat up the pads, followed by a good cool down period, in order to ensure both pad longevity and maximum potential brake torque.

NOTE: Please remember to always test your brakes in a controlled environment before any type of racing event.
