Excessive brake pedal travel.

Just fitted new discs and pads. Took car out for a test drive and I have excessive
Brakes pedal travel. The brakes work well and stop the car but I have to push further
Down on the pedal than I did before.

Only potentially odd thing I noticed were when I changed the near side front
Discs, and refitting the caliper, but before fitting anti rattle spring, when I had tightened the caliper slide pins.
I could slide the caliper a good 5mm forward and backwards on the slide
Pins......I could not do that on the rest of the calipers, Is something not right ?

Cheers

try breaking in the pads with a couple good hard stops and report back.

have you flushed any brake fluid?
