So a few weeks ago, I upgraded my brakes with some slotted rotors, SS brakelines, pads and fluid.

Is that part of the break in period?

Thanks.

Bedding New Brake Pads

1. Make sure all parts are installed correctly
2. Go for a drive on a road without other motorists
3. Accelerate to 60, brake with moderate pressure down to 20 mph
4. Repeat step 3 approximately four times
5. Drive home without further hard stops
6. Allow brakes to cool overnight WITHOUT using the e-brake

Why no e-brake? Isn't it a separate drum/shoe system? Or has my memory gotten worse than I thought?
