The parking lot figure 8s should help them wear-in. You can also put the rear end on jackstands just enough to have your tires off the ground and start up the car and let it run in 4th gear for a while, it will not have a load on it and sometimes that will help things "seat-in", then let it cool down completely and do the figure 8s.......

I disagree. 2 problems with jacking the car up and running in gear. 1st is that it will play hell with the axle shaft u-joints if you are running an IRS. 2nd, unless you are causing the clutch plates to slip via axle speed differential , then they are not going to wear in.
If you are running a
synthetic oil, dump it, flush it , and refill with conventional grease.
