hi i have installed a 95 cobra brake system on my car w/ ebc green stuff pads, 93 master cylander. problem is when the brakes are cold there isnt much brake power, and it caused me to rear end someone tonight :-(. seems when the brakes heat up the stopping power is much bettere, but still seems like the brake starts to grab but just doesent get enough bite when i stomp on them, any sujjestions??

Low vacuum to the power brake booster? How much vacuum are you making at idle?

Like he said

But also what are the pads made up of???

If they are a ceramic(compound), then they won't stop you until they heat up.
