I've used Carbotech/GLOC 8s, 10s and 12s. No issues like this after proper bed in. Currently on Hawk DTC60s and also all good.

Same experience here on my GT (which has been tracked on its little OE 12.4"/11.8" rotors). Same three compounds, all three of which are pretty gentle as far as rotor wear rates are concerned.

During bed in you don't get good feel or bite. You have to follow the procedure, then let it cool to ambient before the grip comes in.

Driving a few miles doing as little braking as possible is probably the best way to ensure even cooling of everything you just made hot.
GS1 or Carbotech 1521 is a daily-driver compound with a hint of improved braking performance over many OE compounds. Our WRX is getting 1521s very shortly for improved bite over its OE pads in moderate to moderately hard stops in street driving, had them on another car before.
