Default Smoking Brakes the bad kind.

I just fit a set of DBA Street Slotted rotors and a set of QFM HP-X pads to my XR6 BF Falcon. I just too it out for some brake tests getting up to 60Kmh then hitting the brakes reasonably hard and slowed down to around 10Kmh. I did this about 10 times and when I got back to my house and stopped I noticed on both sides my bakes were smoking. I could be wrong but this doesn't seem normal at all? Would there be any reason for this at all. Would I have had done something wrong with the installation to cause this. I followed the DBA fitting rotor guide on you tube for this install so I'm a bit stumped as to what would be causing this. Any help would be great thanks.
