If I focus enough, its possible, but certainly more difficult than your average OEM brakes.

Have I incorrectly bedded that pads? Or is it just a characteristic of the brakes themselves?

At a guess, your technique will improve with practice, where it's about learning subtlety at a foot position you've never needed to care. You might also evaluate seating position, and verify you're able to use small muscle groups to control pressure. I'm not sure these are likely, but figure it's worth throwing it out there.
There are variety of factors playing into this. We have setup multiple vehicles that have the PP kit and the Brembo GT. If you have an application on what you will subject your car to, please let us know and we can supply you with the appropriate setup.
