I stop faster than the swear words that come out of my mouth at whatever caused me to stop in a hurry.

You will notice a BIG difference when you put new pads in the front, doing brake fluid will make a difference too, I need to do my front pads soon...they still its just the pedal feel is spongy and not as good when there is a full pad there.
