EBC rotors.

changing rotors isnt the reason why your brakes felt "crisper." Its because your rotor thickness has increased so your caliper pistons dont need to move as far requiring less brake

Eh, the pistons don't spring back to full compression every time you let off the brakes. They self adjust by way of not being forced back, and a check valve in the master cylinder allows new fluid to flow from the reservoir to make up the difference when the pedal is released.

So really, it's probably from the new rotors and the new formula of pad that has more bite than what he is used to.

EDIT: was someone else that changed pads, could be that the new rotors have a higher CF causing there to be more bite, especially until material transfer is more uniform. I'd expect him to say they feel the same, just not pulsey (new word), in about a thousand miles or so.
