The parking lot figure 8s should help them wear-in. You can also put the rear end on jackstands just enough to have your tires off the ground and start up the car and let it run in 4th gear for a while, it will not have a load on it and sometimes that will help things "seat-in", then let it cool down completely and do the figure 8s.......

I would try more friction modifier,Amsoil for example is ready to use without adding the modifier.Been building and setting up my rearends for years and always used Synthetics,never had a problem.
