There is no break in period. They are either going to be fine, or there is going to be a problem and youll notice it.
Take a quick drive and listen for problems during accelleration and slowing down in gear. If all is well, get used to your new fun.

I had mine done, took it around the block and listened for anything, and all was well so I turned onto the street and ripped that badboy to about 100. man it felt like a new car,

I'm getting them installed tomorrow, and it's raining here so I'll have to wait a day or so regardless, cause from what I've heard wet roads and 4.10s at WOT don't mix.

About 30 feet, backed out of the garage and put on the trailer to take to the drag strip.....8000miles ago multiple slick launches, no problems.
