I did 3 things that really made a BIG difference.

Tell all!

First, I replaced the rubber brake hoses with ss braided lines.

Did that, no choice really, the stock hose was DOA.

Secondly, I replaced the Brembo F08 caliper with a F09.

Ho ho, me too.

Now the F09 was a significant improvement.

Eeek, if you thought the F09 was good the F08 must have been a real horror. I've been looking on Ebay for a good cheap 12 or 13 round Brembo but I haven't found one yet. Thanks for your informative and detailed response.
