I'm sure this is too late... but it depends a lot on the pad.

Softer pads require lower speed slows and stops. Mine (a more agressive combo) is:
(40-60 slow to 30-20) x 3-5 times; then
(60-100 slow to 0) x 3-5 times.
Try not to touch the brakes after that and park for at least 30 minutes. You know you have done your job when the brakes feel like they've faded a bit (green fade) and then come back.

Other tips:
- don't smoke them (i.e., dark smoke rising from brakes)
- use firm, but not "panicky" pedal pressure
- don't do that drag the brakes while accelarating thing <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cry.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

*edit* basically what Frappe said [I passed right over it thinking it was a quote of something above &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'> ] **
