Go grab yourself a 20lb sledgehammer and go to town. Obviously make sure you have the e-brake off.

As you hit it, put the car in neutral and rotate the rotor.

I probably spent 15 minutes of hitting from the back and front with my sledge.

No problem. Now make sure you bed them properly for the first couple weeks/300 miles so that they last as long as possible.

No hard breaking unless necessary and rolling stops as much as possible.

Here's a link to Stoptech's white papers on bedding in brakes and the purpose. It includes the procedures that I've used and have had great success using.

Very worth the time.

Wow, I was just re-reading this thread and I never thought I would be one of those guys who spells the word "Brake" wrong.

And I just noticed that I spelled it "Break" I am going to have to flog myself 10 times after posting this.
