all valid points, but he could replace everything in the car and it will still stop like a buick. "smooth" is what it is designed to do, mine feels too mushy compare to some cars, but it will still stop in a hurry if i stand on it.
also what kind of pads did you get? some pads have more inital bit than others and will feel better. they will usually dust more and not last as long either btw.
