Default More Brake Questions

Thanks for all the info on slotted/drilled brakes! I take delivery of
my '05 in about 2 weeks and am curious regarding ideas/advice about
"braking-in" new brakes. I've heard that the manual recommends no heavy
brake usage during the initial break-in period for the car. I'm assuming
that is probably sufficient. However, I have had people refer me to the Baer
method. My car comes with the Z51 package and I don't know if either method
is better or if there are other methods people recommend.

Also, this is truly the first new car I have to break-in. Any specific
recommendations regarding this. I have to drive it about 500 miles to get
home...is this sufficient? I fully realize the can-of-worms I'm probably
opening with this question, but I want to make sure I do things right.

Mucho Gracias,
Holo
