Okay, now your will hate this. We are all trying to help and I imagine your getting frustrated as I would feel to.
First what sort of driving are you doing? You slam dunking the brakes? Second go easy on the brakes to start. Wear them in for at least 900km about 500 miles. An I am not saying hit the back of a truck to take it easy on them. But they really need to be broken in. If your taking those new brakes out and really testing them its a road to ruin. An turned brakes are a doomed situation on these brakes. I went out and felt the brakes on this car. It is a 2010 so maybe a bit diff. But they don't look happy for turning. Next I agree with above, turn them and change the pads. They have meat yes, but once you thin them down your limited. Thinner brakes more chance to warp.
Now another big one. have all your suspension and linkage checked. It might not be the brakes at all. Well brakes a bit but if anything is loose it amplifies it. Also are you the only one driving this car? On my German car I was getting warped rotors with the style of driving she was doing (wife). These are street cars not race cars.
You can go to drilled (brakes) diff pads and all, and you might need them, but if anything is off they will not make you happy.
If you are a very hard driver you might want to change up. But I would start with the basics first.
So again start with what am I doing wrong? Then work back.
So I would hope that would be called real. Oh and good luck
Happy driving.
EDIT: OH and I have not looked at what is in the composition of these pads yet. But if you do not wear them in, and they have ceramic in them, or carbon, and lay the composition on the discs right they will feel warped. Actually it will warp them. Sorry new to this car but just putting down what I know. All brake pads are a composition. It is important to lay a layer of the pad on the disk. Yes it looks worn off but it embeds. Maybe a better way of saying.
