Well, if you must know, I've used AP, ST and PFC kits on different M3s over the years (I've been going to the track for almost 30 years) so it's based on my own personal experience.

Haha that's a great point, poor pedal feel from any kit, let alone the biggest name in the business, would call their install procedures into question, but they did update the post to report Brembo had supplied the wrong kit, which was the reason for the poor performance. The test did also state they used whatever pads came with the kit with TUV certification though, which seemed fair for an 'out of the box' comparison focusing on consistency vs all out performance.
Either way, brakes are as much about the numbers as they are about the drivers perception and preference, so in those regard it's impossible to conduct an unbiased brake test, and for those same reasons all insight and feedback is appreciated.
