The upgraded Big Brake Kit actually feels pretty darned good to me. It firms up the feel on the lever and makes it a two finger operation. It is an improvement over the stock broke rotor with the sintered pad. Just make sure to really, really clean the brake rotor well with carb cleaner (or other solvent) before mounting. That was my problem - I failed to clean it well and was not sure why it wasn't performing better. I cleaned it very well with solvent and then bed in the pads. Works great now and I get plenty of nose dive when applying a firm grip on the brake lever.
