research "brake bedding". This will answer your questions...

EDIT: you might be able to find a PDF download manual on Stoptech's website

You should turn your rotors and make sure they're in spec.

Clean the rotor surface with brake cleaner and a towel.

Install new pads.

You can bleed the brakes if you want, but it's not necessary.

Replace wheels, lower car, start up car, pump brakes.

Begin the embedding procedure.
