Brake Job on 95 F53 ***Update***

I don't know if I would say I had poor braking issues, just I was never very confident in them. I upgraded to the best calipers, did the lube, did the DOT 3 swap, everything I could think of except for your grinding down pad trick. Even after all of that I would suck in air if I was in heavy traffic approaching a stoplight (going the speed limit) that would then turn yellow on me. I never felt good about the stopping distance. Like BigK said I drove like I didn't have brakes, only problem is everytime I left a gap, some yo-yo would pass me and then pull into that gap I had, prior to some stop.

Got truck/5'ver now. I hit the brakes, little red light shines brightly, all is good.
