Break in on EBC brakes

Just ordered my EBC front and rear pads and rotors from TTR (which i highly recomend these guys), and was wondering what the break in proceadure is on these pads? Will they send one with the pads?

it's a standard bolt, i forget what size. i just took off the top one, loosened the bottom and slid it back. didn't bother taking the whole thing off.

i sell ebc stuff day in and day out. i have to sit and listen to the complaints and drivle about brakes, and various other things.
is ebc decent? yes. are they the best? ehhhh, depends on who you ask, and what they are using it for. for me. i might use their pads, thats it.
