I Put black diamond drilled and grooved discs and pads on at the weekend along with astra gte callipers and bled them a few times and to stop the car i have to push my brake pedal right to the floor and even then its shite so i pushed hard on the brake pedal and got someone to have a look at it and he could still push the piston back in with my foot fully on the brake pedal!! are the callipers fucked as im sure this isnt normal! anyway i put my old discs and pads back on and they are fine, just wondering whever i need to get 2 new callipers or is it sumthing else? cheers

Did you have the calipers the correct way up? Bleed nipple at the top?

Have you checked your fluid level and remembered to put the cap back on the reservoir?
