try getting yaself some braided hoses

when the brakefluid heats up under braking,m it can cause the rubber hoses to stretch out so causing the fade

sometimes when i put my foot on the brake to stop i'l get a pedal but then the pedal will go in a bit more until i get the pedal again. this has happened up to 4 times just trying to brake to stop once! my foot was basically at the floor at this point.

ave checked brake fluid, pads disks shoes, bled the system and everything looks ok. the abs light comes on a lot too. (if u can understand what i am trying to say have u any suggestions wot the prob mite be) :boggle:

cheers
