How to make the brake more sensitive?

I've already bleed and flushed my brake fluid, but seems like it takes quite a bit more effort to stop the TSX compare to an Accord.

Any aftermarket part that can make the brake more sensitive? As in... require less distance, and driver's effort, to bring the car to a complete stop?

Thanks!

Stainless steel brake lines significantly improve pedal feel. You might also want to add a set of quality brake pads (Hawk HPS come to mind). Contact Excelerate (one of our vendors on the Group Buys forum) for parts and he'll take good care of you and will be able to answer any questions you may have.

what order did you bleed the brakes? according to the helms it says to do the front left instead of the right rear ( like normal cars ) not sure if that was a typo on there part or what.. also not sure if there is an acura dealer mechanic in the forum that confirm which is truley correct
