This is not a name brand search, more on how to work with your brakes. For one, start with a clean brake disc, then go down a road with no one behind you, and start with a few hard stops, then go to almost locking the brake, when you get to almost actuating the anti lock, then lift off and do it again about 6-7 times, letting them cool a little between hard braking..... "DO NOT LET THE DISC STOP TURNING" , stopping will let the pad to burn an imprint on the disc and that's a NO-NO.
Doing this is what I call painting my disc, which is basically putting some pad material on the disc, which is how to prepare brakes for better stopping all round.
