brake pad choice?

Hi All,
Can some one suggest or recommend some front brake pads which are a little more fade resistant than standard and which do not require too much extra pedal pressure. the car is a 1.4 8v 6n2 fitted with Brembo smooth discs.
I have been using Black diamond pads which need a lot of extra pressure to work.

I've been using Black Diamond Predator pads for over two and a half years now and don't think that they require any extra pressure to work :?

When was the last time you had the brake fluid changed?

Cheers :)

Hi SiGTi, Thank you for your reply. I changed the fluid Dot 5.1 last summer when I fitted the discs, pads, and braided hoses.
It is strange that you have not found extra pedal pressure necessary as I have.
