    Default Brake Pedal Response

    I hope someone can offer me some advice with this problem, I have been searching around the forums without luck.

    The brake pedal sensitivity (you could call it) on my VZ executive has always seemed to move too far before engaging, in comparison with other cars its very annoying and now seems unsafe.
    So my question is does anyone know of an adjustment that can be made to tighten up some of the slack with the pedal so there's less movement?

    I've done a complete brake fluid flush, new pads, new front slotted rotors, re-skimmed the rear discs. I've even recently had new steel braided brake lines fitted in the hope that'll help the problem but it just seems to have gotten worse, the pedal movement is even greater now before it engages the brakes. The car pulls up fine, the braided lines are doing their job it's just the pedal drop distance.

    The VZ never really had a great pedal to begin with. If it is worse after doing all that, I'd suggest you bleed the system again.
