Hmmm your impression is opposite of what I thought I was experiencing. My only impressions of heavy braking with stock pads all the way around was that the rears were trying real hard to lock up.
I was a little surprised once by the rears locking up. Yeah, ABS is a wonderful thing when the weather is bad or your just done something stupid. However, I hate it when it kicks in when I'm pushing hard and (think) I have it all under control.
So now I have more aggressive pads on the front, but the stock rears looked like they were starting to groove the rotors in the back during my first track outing. Something that low initial bite and releases good would be great. The EBC redstuff that I have on the front, from my initial impressions, don't fit that description.
I actually like a pad with a strong initial bite in the front, I can deal with that.
