BBJ Sim Racing makes improved conical rubber brake mods for the T3PA-Pro pedal set. They come in four different hardness ratings.
Green = soft 50 shore
Blue = medium 60 shore
Yellow = medium-hard 70 shore (close to default conical rubber brake mod but more progression)
Red = very hard - 85 shore
Edit - If you want something a little lighter than the stock then go for the blue one, but I have found that after a few good sessions of use the yellow one has just slightly broken in and feels perfect. That and I have become use to having it installed. Will report back if I feel it is degrading, but considering it is polyurethane I do not believe it will degrade and should remain more consistent than the original.
From their site - "...we have decided to produce a range of Mods that will provide a significant performance improvement over the standard Conical Brake Mod. We have achieved this by increasing the physical size of the mod which allows a much more progressive rate of travel/pressure and by making the mods out of Polyurethane Rubber rather than the natural rubber of the originals. This also increases the progressiveness of the pedal and allows us to produce these mods in a range of hardness (shore rating)."

I picked up the yellow one as I saw it recommended by @Scaff . It is the same starting stiffness as the original but does not hit a wall and become supper stiff when it is 1/2 way compressed. It is very nice once you get it installed correctly and get used to the feel. I for sure have more control over my braking when close to max (or lockup if no ABS) To install I would recommend having it be about the width of standard printing paper away from the back of the pedal (you should be able to get the paper between and just feel it bite). Then make sure to work it in.. mash the brake, continue to pump the pedal in loading screens.. it could be just me getting used to it but I found it works best after being worked in a bit.
They can be found on their ebay store and the final cost shipped to the USA was $20 for me (could change with currency exchange rate). You can also choose to buy a three pack if you are the type that would switch them around.
