Default Z pad problem?

I've been running z pad brake pads for years , never any problems..
I put new pads on front and rear now I'm having a problem. Neither brake is dragging and there both working. But when I have to use my brakes hard , say to slow down fast it seems the front fades quick and I can smell the brake.

Nothing ? Guess if I wanted to know we're to put my gas cap I'd have a hundred post.

I'd bleed each front and rear. Might as well flush the fluid at the same time.
