Default brake feel
one thing that has always bothered me about my car is the tough brake pedal. my question is rather simple: will a big brake kit like a SSBC 6 piston setup make my brake pedal less effortless and more grabby? i'm not so much asking if there are better options out there or if it is ultimately better, but how different will it feel from the pedal? thanks guys

it will grab more break rotor at once and yes, it will make braking more effortless.
