I agree with the other comments here. This sounds like a glazing issue to me. I had the same issue with #347 when I got it because it was driven very sparingly over 20+ years. I have the standard brakes and they were scary at first but I found so many comments suggesting they were perfectly fine for road use that I decided to give them some time before upgrading. They have definitely improved since I have been driving the car.

If your rotor surface looks shiny or you can see a reflection up close, they are probably glazed and the pad can't get enough bite. The new Hawk pads should cut through this eventually or you may want to have the rotors turned to knock the glaze off.
