You have to target different elements from what you have. You also must set the top padding to 0px. Change your CSS to this:

.navbar-brand,
.navbar-nav li a {
  height: 76px;
  line-height: 76px;
  padding-top: 0;
}

Oh wow xd i had in mind , as looking in dev tools, that this nav is in one div that controls it line-height. I was wrong. I did before the brand and li alone it worked xd but why didnt i put it like you xd

Thank you very much. ( maybe coz i sat too much in it : p).

The preferred way of using line-height is with a unitless number, according to MDN, as other types can cause odd inheritance issues. You might want to try removing the 'px' unit and see if that changes anything.
