Give the CSG pads a try. They fundamentally run cooler, and you'll visibly see it in the silver not bubbling.
The soft pedal could be the pads getting really hot and transmissing heat to the caliper, or possibly an incomplete flush. A lot of folks try to skimp on the initial flush (I'm guility of it too), and end up with a soft pedal. Keep bleeding, and this should improve. If it doesn't, then your brake are just running way too hot, whether it's a characteristic of the pad, too much ABS use, or the particular track being hard on brakes.
At this time, I recommend 2L for the initial flush, and then 0.5-1.0L for bleeds.

Thanks for the info. To be honest im new to BRZ's so I hadn't heard of your pads before. I've generally run Hawks on my other street and race cars - not least because of contingency credits :P
Im curious how your pads manage to dissipate the heat better than the big brands?
