Hi everyone. Im getting a bit fed up with my brakes now. I have fitted 2 litre calipers and felt that the brakes where no better than standard so ive now fitted braided brake lines and again havent noticed any improvement. There are no leaks and i have blead it many times. All four brakes are getting hot so one isnt sticking. I didnt know if anyone had came across this or what mite cause it. Basically the brakes do stop but there seems to be loads of pedal travel before snything happens. Im wondering if it could be servo related or something? Any help would be great!

Are the calipers on the right sides (bleed nipple at the top)? Also have you adjusted your rear brakes up at all? When I first took my Corsa out, I had loads of travel in the pedal, assumed I hadn't bled them up properly then someone suggested adjusting the rear brakes, i tried it and they're spot on now.
