Not at all. I think this is because the TL brakes do not use brake boosts like they do with the Mercedes I test drove when I was comparing cars. I find that I like the progressive feel of the brakes more than you would with a brake boost type setup. Difference in opinion I guess...but I cant imagine any type of real race car to have brake boost.

That's why I changed my brake pads to Endless. Definitely better braking and feel than stock brakes. Highly recommend them, but they are pricey though.
