Default brake pads

Hello Everyone

I have read across a bunch of posts related to brake pads, I don't get a feel for the answer I am looking for tho. What I want is a pad that is about 25% more stickey, I know that is a bit crazy sounding and totally up to the drivers perception, I am just trying to give you an idea of what I am looking for. When I press the brake pedal I want to use a bit less effort to stop at the same distance.

Can anyone suggest any pads that are somewhat more stickey like this?

Thank you for your time and ideas
Patrick

Reread those other posts and look for the people talking about a pad's "bite". That's what you are describing.

Hey Mike

Thanks for your reply. I noticed that, I just didn't see anything that told me proportionally to the oem's they might have a quarter more bite.

I will reread tho incase I just missed it.

Thanks
Patrick

Then find more threads. This is a subject that has been covered a many times. You will find it mostly comes down to personal opinion. But feel free to post some objective data if you discover anything.
