With stock size discs you need something with very high friction on the front.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

Well i'm not sure what the hell happened to the brakes on the car you were driving but i have got EBC Grooved and Dimpled Discs and EBC Green stuff pads and the overall braking system is so much more sharper and responsive than the standard set up...

none of this..3 hard stops and the pedal is on the floor malarky....sounds to me like there might have been a leak in your pipes...
