Why do my Brembo's suck?!?

Here is a good test done awhile ago. Shows brake power/distance is near identical. Main difference is rotor temp.

I've read the article years ago, but again, we are talking about feel, not stopping distance or braking power. You said "If you put Hawk HPS pads on both stock brakes and Brembos, they would feel identical daily driving." I disagree. They feel quite different through the pedal, and not every stop on the street is a max braking effort.

It is correct that 05+ MC's had 1" bore.

Yes, the 05 base brakes were a big improvement over the 03-04 in feel and longevity;,they upsized the caliper, rotor size and pad, I believe, and they had a more progressive feel than the base 03-04 models. Infiniti just got tired of the complaints from Brembo owners about noise which is why they axed the Brembos. TBH, I've never had noise issues w/my Brembos in the 11 years I've owned this car, so I have no idea what they're talking about, and I've done 3 pad changes myself. Weird decision...

And yes I bought them for the name and look as well.

I read that the bleed pattern is different than the normal furthest to closest, what should I do since my car came with standard brakes?
