there should be info in the brakes you bought.
this is what is says on my Hawk HPS pads
1. after installing new brake pads make 6 to 10 stops from approximately 30-35mph applying moderate pressure.
2. Make an additional 2-3 hard stop from approximately 40-45mph.
3. DO NOT DRAG BRAKES!
4. Allow 15 minutes for brake system to cool down.
5. After step 4 your new pads are ready for use.
