Hi guys i dont use this much im over on fk-oc
Ive upgraded my front brakes to mondeo 2.0 calipers dics and pads and uprated my master cylinder to a puma 1.7 one to help with a soft pedal. ive also replaced the complete rear of the system too.
My pedal still has travel in and goes quite far down
but will stop my car
Just after some advice here because people ive spoken to say the pedal shouldnt be as soft and with as much travel as mine has....
Look forward to your replies

If the pedal is soft, then I would if you haven't already put on braided pipes, as some swell will occur in std pipes naturally, then make sure it is bled correctly.
I would also make sure the rear brakes are adjusted up properly, fords have a habit of the auto adjusters not being very effective, try the brake pedal after adjusting rear brake adjusters, these can give a huge amount of travel when not perfect.
Make sure you have fresh, ie not stored in your garage for a year fluid bled through to all brakes rears included.
I just buy 1L at a time when needed, so it is always fresh for this reason.
