A friend has a Backdraft (#250-350 range) and was unhappy with the braking. He changed pads, different on the back to partially reduce the rear braking forces and more friction on the front. Last I heard he was quite happy.

I'd start with trying to determine what pads are currently in use and then learning the braking force charts to get more front friction.

It's hard to test on the street because you really can't work the brakes as hard. Changing pads isn't usually that hard but does take time and new pads need to be "bedded" in.
