When you say you put on "softer" pads, what exactly did you install?

I have the same type of performance that you describe and my first step was going to be a more aggressive pad material coupled with turned rotors. My car stops ok but I can feel the pedal flexing before I get anywhere near lockup. I do have Avons on the car so grip may be higher than average, but still...

My 1969 911 has non-boosted brakes, 12" rotors with 4 piston front and 2 piston rear calipers. It stops SUBSTANTIALLY better than the Cobra although it is about 200lbs lighter.
