With upgraded pads (ebc yellow stuff) I have to be conscious of not using too much force else I'll lock up the tires. With cheap Napa pads prior to bed in they required a LOT of force and didn't lock up the tires (all of my body weight sort of thing). The EBC Yellow Stuff stopped better than the Napa pads prior to bed in, and stop VERY good after bed in. This is with OEM WRX 2 pots, relocated the master cylinder linkage per the manual, OEM master cylinder, and included wildwood pro portioning valve (which we used to take away front bite since the car was too easy to lock up... On Hoosier A6 race tires!

I'm ~130 lbs. if I can lock up the tires, you guys should be able to!
