I wasnt expecting a dramatic change, I at least thought they would stop like my standard brakes maybe a tad better.. Think im gonna give it till the weekend then try to bleed them again..

You pay 3k and then you have to triple pump them to bite
Duh

Pedal low and having to pump the pedal to stop sounds very much like air in your brake lines! Bed in Process...Search I posted it for you! Hawk does recommend doing the process for all their pads and yes, it will shorten your stopping distance.

Hawk pads don't have great initial bite, but sinking pedal sounds like you still have air in the lines, or perhaps your MC is going bad.

Why don't you just do it yourself? It's one of the easiest jobs to do on your own, especially if you have a vacuum bleeder which you can buy on the cheap at most auto parts store. If you don't like getting dirty ok but crap this is easy stuff.

I did it originally and couldn't get the air out.. So I took it to the dealer cause I wanted fresh fluid in there, car is at 105k.. Figured they have the best machines and people to do it..

If they have the MC pump it is better tan anyone can do by hand.

I had a similar issue on my stocks as well. After a double pump it felt stiffer than a stiffie.
Brake guy did a bleed then and a double pump didn't feel so stiff. And the overall brake feel was smoother after. Didn't feel like I had to mash it.

tbh I heard the upgrade to the brembos weren't even worth unless you're going 6 front 4 piston back, idk
