When I see the word "feedback" when it comes to driving, I'm taking it to mean that there is a sense of direct connection between you, the driver, and the road via the car. Specifically, brakes letting you feel the speed and momentum being scrubbed off rather then just knowing you're slowing down. Usually a very direct mechnical connection is the best way to get good feedback.
In this case, it seems you're talking about something different. You have to remember that the brake pedal is one end of a lever and has to work a piston which then works fluid, which goes through a proportioning block, then to the wheel cylinders, so if you only put a slight amount of pressure on the pedal, no much is actaully happening...the brake pads are pressing against the discs, as they are all the time, but simply not with enough force to do anything. How much pressure are you applying without it seeming like anythign is happening? Steel braided lines can still help, as they won't flex when fluid pressure, or respond to enviromental extremes.
Normally how I brake is with more initial force, then ease off slightly to come to a stop. The increased in initial pressure is to kill momentum...that is what gets you in trouble. Once you've killed momentum, speed is easy to get rid of. Braking in this manner is very controlled, and lacks that rear end squat at stop that you'll see many people exhibiting at stop lights and signs. The reason is they squat is they haven't stopped all of thier momentum, simply killed thier speed, and that momentum is slamming down and back.
BTW, yes, I created them myself from pictures of STs, one current and the Adrenalin concept. It took a while to make them, and them a bit longer to customize them, but it's different and shows the versatility of the ST.
