W202 Brakes - Long Pedal Travel

Good morning fellow listers,

Right after the dealer replaced all 4 brake discs and pads on my 95 W202 with 57K miles six months ago, the pedal was very firm. Brakes application can be felt with the slightest effort to the pedal. Now after 1.5 K miles, the pedal travel is much longer. It requires more than a third to almost half of the pedal travel for the brakes to apply. When stomping on the pedal, it stops right on the spot, ABS works depending on road condition. But when trying to slow down in city driving, normal braking only start to take effect when pedal is half way down. The dealer rebled the entire system but it still feels the same. They claim that this is normal specially for the W202, and that it takes some time for the pads to properly bed to the discs. But it's be more than 1500 miles since the discs and pads were replaced. I don't think this is normal. Any wisdom and suggestions would be greatly appreciated !

Willy

p.s. brake pedal never sinks to the floor so I doubt it's the MC, but I could be wrong.
