i just replaced the pads and rotorson neo's contour and he wants to know how to "wear in" the brakes. i already know that theire auto-adjusting but he wants to know how to wear them in and i don't own a contour so i don't have a clue. i've read almost every post ever posted and i can't find anything, so if you can just give me some feedback it would be greatly appreciated....

you wear in the brakes/pads or shoes by applying the pedal very easy.. dont speed so you have to hit the brakes hard...
drive like a little old lady for about a few weeks and the brakes will wear into the rotor or drum the way they should wear and then you can gun it later and really get some good stopping power as the brakes will be worn in....

I use Baer's recommended procedures for rotor seasoning and pad bedding and I have had very good results.
