Vertigo... there will always be a little lever travel... but be sure you bleed them really well again.. SO ... here is the $6 million dollar question, do you want no lever travel, or good brakes... or both... sounds like your brakes are better but with some lever travel.. which is normal for street applications, Now if you spend the $500 and get a billet MC, $1600 for Brembo Calipers, you will still have a small amount of lever travel, very small.... if you are not racing... what you have is more than sufficient.... :)

You have exactly the same setup I used on the track, its was plenty good enough for me, until I started going much faster... braking harder, etc, etc... only then did I start getting some brake fade, which is due to heat more than anything, I also learned that EBC HH pads are some of the hottest running pads out there..changed that too... to ferodo's.... holy shit I'm rambling... I'll shut the hell up now..

btw, what is the brand of your brake fluid?????
