I got some xp12 fronts and xp10 rears for this season. Can't wait to compare to the xp10/xp8 combo.
You will find them harder to modulate and they won't last as long

No offense, but it isn't the stock rear pads that is overheating your front brakes.

I ran stock rears with Hawk HT-10's on A6's at Mission Raceway and the rears were overheating to the point they were chunking and turning the rotors brown. Once I switched to Hawk HP+ rears, the chunking/brown mess stopped.
Don't worry, I just share my point take it or leave it. I do not claim that I'm an expert.
To my understanding that the front is bite so hard, lot harder than the rear. So the front brake do all the work. Maybe difference track, difference pad, difference driver???
