You need to give them a good 50-100 miles to bed in, disks normally have a coating on them that burns off when used.

did you use a rewind tool to push the piston back?

Thanks for the replies.. So if it is an abs sensor will I have to buy a new one or could I just give it a clean or something?? I took it for another drive today and the brakes are starting to feel better.. The pedal is still very spongy!?!?

Ya their slowly getting there.. I gave the discs a good clear with brake cleaner before I fit them, that's why I was surprised when the the car could just about stop. :undecided:

I used a g-clamp on the front and had to wind the back calibre in.
