When you put your foot on the brake, it is as if the pressure you input is multiplied several times without you ever pressing any harder on the pedal....

I like my pedal to be solid and firm. I like the car to be stopped long before I hit end of travel.
My 300D has a nice firm pedal right now. I dont have to push it to the floor to get the car to stop.
I had Akebono pads on my 190E. I did not like them took too much pedal effort to bring the car to a stop.
