Did you bed the pads in? Biggest mistake that can be made. I have XP8 pads/Z1 2-piece on all 4 corners and it was a handful breaking the pads in.

I am not sure about your pads but XP8's do require a little heat before they come alive. It's the pads that make the most impact on initial bit, etc.

I have Z1 pads and my stops are more like collisions but I definitely had to aggressively bed in the pads

If I have already messed up, is it as simple as getting all new break pads or will the rotors need turned also?
