SSV VE Brake Question

[ssv1]

Hi All
I'm new to the forum so hi to everyone.
Just got a 2011 ssv which I am really happy with apart from the brakes. The main problem for me is the amount of free play in the brake pedal - around 2.5 to 3 cm, it just feels really sloppy.
I have put dba t2 slotted rotors and qfm hpx pads on the front along with a brake fluid flush so it is stopping way better but the pedal still has to go down quite a ways until the pads start to bite.
when I had it in for brake rotor and pad change the brake guy said that was normal for ve's so...... should I just live with it or are there any upgrades or adjustments that will give a more direct feel?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Braided lines will help pedal feel

Not sure on the Holden architecture but if the pedal feels loose or sloppy coold be some mechanical issues with the pedal linkages themselves. Sometimes with really worn pads you have to press the pedal further or if there is air in the line it could cause a soft feeling pedal also.

Could las be a combo of all 3
