i realize it's an old thread that i'm bumping, but I've had the same experience - swapped out what I assume were stock pads, which had a linear bite right at the top for Ferodo DS2500s, increased pedal travel immediately after. I did open the brake fluid reservoir to let out some fluid since the pistons were getting pushed back a decent bit. Right after, no braking force until a third of the way down and then it bites relatively hard.

Bed & bleed?


Update - swapped the OEM pads back on, pedal firm again. Then swapped back to the Ferodos, and immediately lost that top 1/3rd firm pedal. I've no idea what the reason for this is.
