Find my brakes lacking in bite

I find the brakes lack bit so am thinking about better after market pads. ie EBC Greenstuff

Has anyone on here upgraded their front pads and if so what do you buy and what were the results?

I have used Red stuff pads on other cars and found them to be superb pads
low dust and great bite.

I did the 3.2 upgrade on my wife's FL2 and the performance is amazing

The other FL2 has the standard Brembo kit

And performs well.

I come as a Disco driver with the V8 upgraded brakes......

If you are really keen you can upgrade to Volvo XC90 front calipers and 336mm rotors.
