Default GSXR600 SRAD spongy front brakes?

my front brakes were feeling spongy so i had the front pads replaced (at Metropolis in Vauxhall) as they were getting close to the wear indicators, this improved the bite, however they still feel a little spongy, I have taken the bike to Rex Judd where their mechanic told me that this was a common problem with older Suzuki's (mine's 1997 P reg) and that a possible remedy would be to get the brake hose replaced, possibly with braided ones.

has anyone heard of this problem before?

Thanks
