Did you bed-in the pads
PAGID Instructions for race pad bedding
Basic bedding in
5-8 stops with light to medium brake pressure from approximately 90 MPH to 65 MPH. Distance between each brake stop approximately 300 to 400 yards. The pads should not reach temperatures above 300 - 400°C (550 - 750°F) during bedding in. No dragging!
Blocking of the air ducts might be helpful to reach appropriate temperatures quicker.
Immediately after basic bedding in at high speed
One stop with medium to heavy brake pressure, without allowing brakes to lock from approximately 110MPH to approximately 65 MPH. Recovery stops with light brake pressure 3-4 times. Repeat the high speed stops, including recovery stops, 2-3 times. Allow a cooling-off distance of approximately 500 yards between high speed stops.

yo i did this very same thing at the tail of the dragon,, u basically boiled ur brake fluid and from the pics u need to replace ur rotors too,, look at the grooves and also u can fry ur pads too and it will look like u got pad life left (hard braking and get the pads smooth where u will squeak BADLY) also from what it looks like is u got aggressive pads but maybe too aggressive for the slotted rotors. too much heat. thats why u may want to get drill and slotted,, to release all that heat. just slotted may not get it all out. believe me i learned the hard way. lol
get the highest brake DOT fluid (its blue) 5 if im correct and follow the advice the other guys are telling,, note if u do not bleed ur brakes correctly it will do the same thing. i wouldnt use that diagram because why go front back, back front and still have the risk to get air in the system.
some of us at a local shop i worked at will start from the back to front,, getting the fluid to the farthest place then close,, some use a rotation of rear driver side/ pass side rear/ pass front/ then driver front. thats a rotation where u will eliminate any air getting out. im ASC Certified in brakes and suspension and alot of us go by that method just to give a little advice taught to us by master techs. good luck
