2 months, your pads are bedded by now.

left How do I properly bed-in my new brake pads?

              In order to achieve maximum brake pad life and performance, it                   is necessary to properly "bed-in" your new brake                   pads.  In general, the more aggressive a pad compound is                   (i.e. higher coefficient of friction and compound material                   density), the more aggressive the bedding in process needs to                   be.

(1) Brake from 50mph down to 10mph using moderate pedal pressure.
Repeat this process 6 to 8 times in succession.

(2) Cool down the brakes by driving for 10-15 minutes on the highway.
Avoid having to use the brakes during this cool-down period.

                         (3)                           Repeat step (1), but use very heavy pedal pressure.
                          Brakes may fade during this set of                           braking, so please use caution.
                         (4)                           Repeat step (2).
                         (5)                           Park the car for 4 to 6 hours after the brakes are                           cooled down.
                          Allowing the pads to                           "rest" overnight is preferred.
                         <i>Cars                           with a curb weight of over 3000lb. may require one                           "light" track session to sufficiently heat                           up the pads, followed by a good cool down period, in                           order to ensure both pad longevity and maximum                           potential brake torque.</i>
