I was braking at the 4 or maybe just before the 4 all weekend long. The pads felt better after maybe 2 sessions as well. I had pre bedded them on the street but it was a fairly fast process so I may not have done it correctly. 5 stops from 45-15, then 60-15, then 3 from 80-15
your bedding was pretty much bang on. When in doubt, ref manufacturer website as they always have their bedding procedures there.
One thing to keep in mind is, xp12 doesn't last long. So check how much pads you have left, lest you could get metal on rotors and destroy the latter. cheers!
