I would push down about a quarter inch and they would grab. Remember that they are still using the ABS system installed which doesn't really give a lot to be "thankful" for. Threshold braking is still the best (the point right before full lock). Once you get them "broken in" the fun really begins. Press with all your might at a buck and you stop really quick. Do it time and time again and you find they don't fade at all. When I did mind I put Mutol (sp?) 600 brake fluid in so that might have something to do with it. When you do go for full brakes watch the A$$ end. It tends to try and come around you. As Andy enlighted me I will enlighted you. In the case you have the cross-drilled units you have to watch the build up of brake dust in there. I am pretty sure my rotors were toast when I traded the car in. The ability to brake depends a lot on the rubber you have so you have to take that into account as well. My pads wore out after a couple of months of use so getting a spare set is ideal. Once they start to squeal (please no jokes I know what I said ... ) replace them at once. I let mine go for a little bit and the pads starting the metal on metal action. Good luck on them and I was glad to help, just wish I could have been there for the install.
