Default Brake Pads And Rotors

I recently installed some new PROTEK rotors and pads on my AU Forte (2000).
The brake performance and feel is now woeful and I suspect its the pads. They came packaged with the rotors as a bonus. They are particularly bad in the wet when as you brake, nothing happens at all, until the discs dry out and then the car starts to slow - scary stuff. Now when I drive in the wet, especially on the highway, I keep riding the brake a touch every now and then to ensure I have brakes when I need them.

My question if anyone can help is, Can brake pads make such a difference? If yes, what pads do you recommend?

Any suggestions and advice, greatly appreciated
