Brake Pedal Feel (upgrade)

[galaxy]

What can be done to a 197 ('12 Boss) to improve the brake pedal feel and firmness? Not the brakes, just the pedal application. Is that all in the booster/mc?

I have a '12 GT that has gone through the stock brakes, Boss brakes, and now S550 brakes and big rotors in the rear. The actual feel of the pedal has never changed. The braking is spectacular, but the pedal feel is the same across all three setups. You gotta want it, lol. You gotta get in that pedal.

Fast forward, I just got a brand new '12 LS and the pedal feel in that thing is identical to my GT, even with the big brakes. I want the pedal in this to have similar travel, firmness, and feel as my 350.

Is that even possible?

I felt the same way when I got my 350R and still had my LS. I found a special sale of Stoptech 15" rotors and 6 piston calipers and, combined with Ferodo 2500s, the pedal feel was exceptional. Much firmer than OE and easy to modulate (in some ways even better than the 350 pedal which can feel a little abrupt around town). Stopping power was maybe not quite as good as the 350 but not too far off. Stoptech is out of business now so I'm not sure if you can even find that kit.
