brake problem, pedal push to the ground?
when driving i approach a stop sign and when braking the brakes slowly move to the floor, like there is loss in pressure.
wtf my pads are mint and rotos are new, also have braided lines wtf

As spoon0313 mentioned check your fluid level and check for leaks.
I would defintely check the SS lines, cause people have had issues with them leaking. IMO they are not meant for street use and if you do decide to use them on the street i would inspect them every oil change for any unusual wear.
Here's some good links discussing SS brake lines;

someone at work said it was my brake master cylinder, my fluid is always at the top and no signs of leaks. Is there any other possibility or is this my answer?

Re: (Type_R_Kills)
Try reaching up to the top of you brake pedal, where it meets the firewall. Check to see if you feel any fluid. Sometimes a faulty Brake Master Cylinder leaks in that area, or so i've been told.

I had the same problem where i would be sitting at a light stopped with my foot on the brake pedal and it would just slowly push all the way to the floor. I had to get my brake master cylinder replaced.

So how were you able to determine it was the master cylinder? If you found a leak where was it leaking from? Sorry, im just curious.

Re: brake problem, pedal push to the ground? (PrinceAli132)
good question ali, i will check with my mechanic. I never found a visible leak if that helps. Maybe it was leaking internally, like inside the cylinder/?

Thanks, im guessing it might be the piston/rod thats inside the master cylinder that might have gone bad or something.
