It's Mandatory to Bed in the Rotors AND the pads.. Even Brembos come with instructions to that effect. Takes MORE than a 100 miles too Mate.. try like 2 to 500 of cartefull break-in before you've got full braking.. OR as you've discovered yer brakes will never perform as expected. AP racing (.com.. search ;-) has a whole section on pads and breakin.. pretty well the authority on brakes, given they are an F1 supplier. IF you've messed the pads.. Remove them and reface (Hand grind them) them Face down on a piece of 80 grit onna flat surface, preferably glass, remembering that MM's are believed to still (ahem) contain asbestos.
Always replace all 4 corners with the same pads.. you wou;ldn't wear a different shoe on each foot would you?
