pedal travel has increased because you havnt bleed the brakes enough,i had the same problem,when i changed my lines and fluid.Bleed them again with 10 on/ off applications on each corner.My pedal is now mega firm and right at the top

same here,but sometimes it takes a while for all the air to make its way to the bleed screws, as a lot of air gets in when the lines come off.I drove mine around for a day or so,then rebled,and a load more air came out,result,mega firm pedal..
