bedding brake rotors
I have read conficting stories on how to bed rotors. The directions that came with the rotors says minimize heavy braking for the first 200-500 miles. I have also read to get the brakes good and hot by doing a couple 60-10 stops, and then do some hard 60-0 stops. I have the Rotora slotted and cross-drilled installed on the front, and stock pads. I didn't replace the pads as they were replaced about 6K miles ago. I am going to replace the lines and fluid next weekend, so I'll be back up in there if I really should replace the pads.
Advice appreciated.

I don't think you'll have any issues with used pads on new rotors, I never surface my rotors when I replace the pads, never had any problems.
BTW, 60-10 stops are very stressful, esp on a stock set of ft brakes, three or four could boil the fluid. I've boiled the fluid on another car (testing out a G-Tech, lol), not something I want to do again.
