If you go to the hawk website, choose performance street, and then choose the hps pad, you will see Bed-In/Burnishing instructions at the bottom of the page.

I will be installing new pads and rotors soon, and i'm sure i'll be following their instructions.

There wasnt instructions IN the box, thats why I asked. I will have to look around in the garage for the box and check the sides and bottom of the box as KeithAE2010 suggested.
