As Anker said, the procedure is same for just pads or pads & rotors. I do about 10 panic stops from 70mph down to 15mph or until I can smell the brake pad material wafting up from the wheel wells.

I go early in the morning up into the local mountains (not a lot of traffic during the week) and bed them on the way down the mountain and then let them cool on the way back home. Works like a charm.
