My fiancé has the 2014 sport disc and her rear brakes seem to grip much harder? What should my rear brakes feel like? are there upgrades to my brakes that I could perform to make them grip better? Pads etc? ALSO, when going really slow my brakes squak and are loud. Thanks!
I would take it to my LBS. It could be a calibration, or worn pads or some other things that are not a big expense. Upgrading is probably not needed.
