   you got any air in the system?
   
   do the part numbers marry up that it actually is a 23mm MC

   i already have the 4 pot brembos fitted to my car they was working but squeeking and the pedal had a bit of travel befors it started braking so i bought new discs new pads and a new m/c
   
   i bought the new m/c off someone on sax-p which he was using on his brembo set up..
   
   the system is fully bleed through, national tyres power bleed it, then bled it agen the old pump the pedal way, then bled it agen at the m/c but it still has less pedal then when i had the old m/c fitted. they said it was ither the m/c had a seal gone in it or the servo...

   my pedal has a wee bit of travel on it aswell with the 23mm mc. I get a much better feel from it though.
