Hesitation in the brake pedal

Here is the problem... Under braking there is a hesitation felt in the pedal, almost like the abs is starting to kick in. This lasts maybe half a second. during that time the car doesnt slow down. After that half second the cars stops normally and abs activates under panic braking. So far we have changed the pads and rotors (slide pins lubed also) changed the front suspension including control arms and swaybar endlinks (it needed them). we changed the hubs which included abs sensors. we did a brake fluid flush. Im at a loss right now. Any opinions? Has anyone had this problem before?

What kind of car do you have? This will help us give suggestions.

If you have the Brembo's then here's how mine feel.

When they're cold as in I haven't applied the brakes in a while the first half second or so they barely grab. As soon as some heat builds up they start to really grab.
