Cyro Powerslot Question
I have purchased a front pair of Cyro Powerslot rotors and the Hawk Pads and I have read other posts and some have mentioned a "break in period". I have yet to install these guys and i want to do it right. Any info is much appreciated.

I think they say for the first 100 miles or so, you only do light braking (assuming nothing comes up). Then I think they are ok. That may not be all the details, Ive just been running them a while. Someone whose done it more recently should have more details

There should be a sheet that is in the box with the Power Slot rotors going over the break-in procedure.
Should be something like this (copied and pasted from my install article in the Articles section):

Now that the truck is down and drivable it’s time to start the break-in procedure that is stated by Power Slot. The bedding in of the new Power Slot system is the most important part of the job. When reassembly is completed, seat brake pads and establish pedal height by depressing the pedal several times before driving.
In order to assure maximum life and brake pad performance the system should frequently be heated cycled. Prolonged, excessive, heat during the bedding process can dramatically affect the performance of the Power Slot system. For best results make 6-10 stops from 35 to 5mph applying moderate pressure. When brakes cool make another 2-3 hard stops from 50 to 10mphalways keeping the vehicle moving. Next, the system should be cycled by firmly applying brake pressure to produce heat in the system, but only for short periods of time. Allow the system to cool and repeat the process. This will begin the tempering process. Avoid excessive or high speed braking until the new system has seated in. This will take you approximately 200 to 500 miles. Not following the break-in procedure will severely affect how the new Power Slot system will function.

Thanks guys, I opened the first box and found nothing but the rotor and it didn't cross my mind untill today and so I opened the second box that had an insert that mainly covered the installation process but nothing specific regarding the break in process. Thanks so much for the help DCSpecial,
I now need a little time to put them on.
