I do it after every brake job. I find the pedal feels great afterward.
How do you bed in your brakes? Last few brake jobs that I did with Raybestos Element 3 I didn't bed mine in and they seem to work without any issues.
You just have to drive up to 45 mph then apply moderate brake pressure down to about 5 mph, do that 5 times then do 40 mph to 10 mph but a less aggressive stop, make sure that you don't come to a complete stop while you are doing this because it can cause uneven pad transfer and can feel like a warped rotor, after you finish the stops, drive around for about 5 minutes to cool down the rotors without coming to a complete stop if you are at a stop sign or light just throw it into neutral. Obviously, if something jumps in front of you then slam on those brakes and stop
