Default Bleeded brembo STR 2003 and still really bad

My car isn't braking like a supercar is suppose to brake .Even my honda civic 2000 brakes 2-3 times better. I bleeded the brakes and changed the front rotors 365mm (eurotek) and pads (textar) all on the same appointment. The first day was okay because the rotors and pads where still new maybe so I ignored the braking level. 2 full tanks later... Still the same as before the bleeding and even felt like im almost going to touch the floor when braking. Me and I my mechanic didn't notice any leak. Do I need a 2nd bleeding ? Need help ! Any ideas ?!

Vacuum leak?

Check fuel trims.

If and only if they are good then you probably failed to bleed the brakes properly. (I wonder if you followed the proper procedure...)

I have a PCM valve (check engine code) can it affects the braking. My mechanic said it helps the brake pump usually. ???

You're going to need cat(s) if you don't fix air leak(s) soon.

Any air leak can affect braking. This is brakes-101! Your mechanic appears not so great. Brakes are brakes.

Jaguar Are really rare here in Montreal, Canada. I have two pro mechanic one for jag only but he is so busy it's hard for me to make it check. And the other mechanic is a mercedes w pro. He never get jaguar to fix but always have some ideas... He always have this starter idea that hits him after checking the car for 5-10 mins (quick diagnose). Trying to have more info from this forums instead of payint alot. Now i will take thos seriously for the PCC VALVE.
