Z1 2 Piece Akebono Rotors - Need help

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.
