2 Qs: Brake bedding in & steeing vibration

I had some Godspeed 294mm discs fitted this morning by those nice people at Tileys. Very pleased with the performance of the brakes but was wondering what the bedding in procedure was, if any, for these with Mintex M1144 pads. Anyone?
Also, whilst driving on the Motorway this afternoon at a "high" speed (make of that what you will) I noticed a high frequency vibration through the steering wheel. It wasn't the road surface causing it and it did stop once I slowed down slightly. Any ideas at all? I had the geometry, springs etc etc etc done a week or so ago at Powerstation and the car has been rock solid until the brakes were done. It's not a major problem as I rarely drive at that speed and so won't encounter the vibration very often, however it is a bit niggly.

Just a guess, but wheel balance? Maybe when they fitted the brakes a balance weight got knocked off. If you've got stick-on weights inside the rim, your bigger brakes might have knocked them off.
Get those nice people to take the wheels off and get the whole fitting checked.
