Certainly a good idea, but don't be disappointed if you do this, and still fail the IVA test, because the IVA test is carried out at various different brake pedal pressues, and it's perfectly possible to have a car pass on max pressure, only to fail at lower pressures (happened to me recently with a Viento).
One thing is vital, use good pads at the front (mintex) and make sure they are bedded in as far as possible by driving to the IVA test and any other bits of driving and braking you can do.
