It feels like the Akebono ceramics have more "give" to them and require a little bit more effort to get the same braking effect desired when doing the same on stock OEM brakes. They will still stop the car great, however, but the feedback is different. This is why I suggested using stock pads and see if it makes a difference.
Have you tried applying maximum braking force on the Akebonos?

I would agree with your assessment of the Akebono's. Compared to my other cars they do seem to have more "give". Applying maximum braking force does indeed stop the car quickly. It just doesnt have the pedal response that I prefer. I have not tried the stock pads yet.
