Brake Question (CSL cup / Alcons)

Strange one (or maybe not)

when driving for any period, first press on the brake pedal produces quite a lot of travel. Subsequent presses on the pedal in the same braking action and the brake seem to bite higher up the travel.

I like the bite point to be quite high and it seems a little strange. When pressing on or on track, i find myself braking before a corner, so that when i want to brake properly, the bite point is higher (which gives me more confidence).

I thought it might be down to the fluid, but having changed it (now back to running superblue), nothing's changed.

Any thoughts? It's almost like the pads are moving away from the discs in between braking.
