What are you using in the rear? Because I defiantly noticed a difference,The brake pads I was using before were the Bendix CT3 ceramic they were decent but I like my hawks alot better. I mean Did you brake them in correctly you have to do a series of 60-10 mph stops then let them cool 20 minutes then continue with the process again when you first install them other wise the bead in time will take longer. Most companies say pads won't fully brake in real well until 500-1000 miles are reached anyhow.

I have no clue what pads were on the car before, probably cheap pads, but the pads seemed to be in pretty good condition. I also think it could use another good bleed. IDK we'll see, I was just expecting a little more from the setup.
