David; I got the pads from Gary (took about a week from order date) and the discs from GTC. The discs by the way are new. Due to all of the different input I think I will take it easy for 100 miles and then do maybe 5-10 x 80 - 40mph heavier braking runs in one go. That's what I did with Alcons RS29's on gt3.
You need bedding like standard procedures If you don't the pads will crack or worn out too early and they cost a lot so think twice!

The first 100-150 miles should be braked gently (+/-30 times) no emergency braking (except really really needed).
