i fitted new shoes and drums not so long ago so mite be that i didnt set the shoes right, adjusted them so the drum could just be pushed on. am going to try taking the abs fuse out and seeing what they are like then, a m8 done it on his astra and they worked alot better.

Vaux ABS is shit. I disconnected this on my cav. Won't improve the feel of the brakes though.
