I recently wore out my front pads and discs on my '03 STi and had them replaced. Just before this work was done I had to press the pedal down a fair way before the brakes started to bite. This persisted immediately after the pads and discs were replaced but went away after the pads had bedded in after about a day.

Now, a week later, the symptom has returned. My brakes seem to work fine except that I have to push the pedal much further than I used to. Also, if I pump the brakes it quickly returns to normal but this reverts to the long push almost immediately.

I have also noticed that the car pulls very slightly to the right as soon as I press the brake pedal but before there is any real slowing down. Before I turn the engine on, the feel of the brake pedal is normal.

I am clearly going to have to take the car back to be checked as I don't feel safe driving it at the moment but I'd like an idea of what may be wrong before I discuss it with the mechanic.

Sounds like you could have air in your system,it might be worth bleeding the brakes again making sure there is definitely no air in your system.SJ.
