Default I just had the stage 2 stoptech's installed yesterday

My first impressions are that they don't bite near as hard at initial application as the stock pads - I no longer have that "grabby" feel when first applting the brakes. When I bedded them in last night, I did get a little fade after 8 hard stops from 60 - 5 mph and they were smoking after 10!

Of course I also changed rotors, went to SS lines, and Motul 600 at the same time, so these may also contribute to the feel of the brakes. I think modulating these pads will be easier than with the stock pads.

I may ask the shop to do another bleed for me, just to make sure all the air is out of the lines, since the pedal seems softer.
