Post Remapped and no brakes!!

I own a Bugeye and have had it remapped and de catted. Problem is the brakes now feel even worse than when it was standard. I bought new discs and pads but still crap. Whats the best thing to do to improve the brakes without skinting myself. I can't see how expensive discs and pads can make much difference as they are only as good as the servo.

I sugggest some steel braided brake lines, dot 5.1 fluid and a good set of front pads
These should make a world of difference
Cheers

Just had the dot5.1 braided hoses, new EBC discs and yellow stuff pads, done at APIs the other day, vast vast improvement.


Car is so much more drivable now.
