Fiesta Mk 7 brakes

[steve-V8s]

Want to improve the brake feel on an ecoboost Fiesta. Tried fitting callipers and disks from a ST150 and brembo road pads but they don't have the initial bite we are looking for. Fitted braided lines and replaced all the fluid but they still feel uninspiring. They work ok for the road and the MOT man reports them as fine, you just can't stand the car on its nose. Pads that market themselves as having very high initial bite seem to be sold as “not for road use” Previously on other cars I have used Ferodo 2500 but looking at performance graphs suggests they may not have a lot more cold bite than the road pads.

The car is used for hillclimbs so the pads never get a chance to get hot and you certainly can't warm them up before you need them.
