I'm grasping at straws to find a reason why this keeps happening to you.
The first time, the GTR tech bedded the pads in for me just like they do the GT-R's, using a heat-gun to verify temp, etc. It lasted 7,000 miles, roughly.

As to bedding, well, I've changed pads on some of my other cars without even bothering to turn the rotors and just drove it like normal and it did fine. Stopped a bit poorer until the pads conformed to the grooves worn in the 100K+ mile old rotors, but eventually it did fine. Tens of thousands of miles and many aggressive turns later, no shaking.
