I have a Wilwood kit with semi-metallic pads. I've bled my brakes with a mechanic friend twice on two separate occasions and there is no air in the lines, but the pedal feels like I can bottom it out if I push hard enough. The pedal feels to have less bite unless I slam it when braking abruptly. My friend's M2 has huge brakes, but I never expected them to be so on and off. I figured mine would be better than stock in endurance (heat management), stopping power and modulation/feel. I really can't remember what my car felt like stock, so it is hard to tell how the car compares. I guess I am looking for firmer feel.

Yes, different pads will feel different. My Winmax W5s feel very spongy and vague when cold but simply swap in my EBC Yellows and I get consistently solid feel from stone cold in -20c up to 32c being pounded around on track.
Edit: Feel I should clarify, I'm not talking up the EBC Yellows against the Winmax W5. The W5 is a dedicated track pad and isn't designed to be run cold but it is amazing once it's hot and the EBC Yellows don't compare in terms of bite or feel once they're hot.
