I am talking about daily driving and every brake pad needs a little breaking in to perfrom well, for street pads, weather you break in daily driving or do it after are installed is not a big deal, I always do a little brake check/breaking in procedure whenever I put new pads, weather it is on my car, my wifes integra or my grandmothers 300C. A few stops from 40 or 50 to about 10 is never a bad thing to do after you work on your brake system, and helps in most ways, and besides if someting is not right would you not want to find out before you are driving in traffic and need you brakes?
