Brake problem
Have been having a recent brake problem and before i go buying the parts i think i need i wanted to go to you guys to see if you guys knew what was up. My car is a '94 ls. Heres what happens. When i am sitting at a light applying the brakes, i can feel the pedal slowly go down to the floor. Also, when im braking the pedal goes in further than normal. Also when applying the brakes i can feel the rear rubbing like they arn't fully engaging. Also a while ago my brake fluid was down far enough to where the brake light came on. I refilled it and it takes a while to go down/havnt had the same fluid loss problem yet. I looked briefly at the firewall but didnt see any fluid. I am about ready to buy a booster and M/C from a gsr unless you guys tell me otherwise. I assume a gsr setup will work...?

Yes it will work wonderfully, as it's the exact same one you have in there now. It sounds like your master is ****, but to make sure it's not the booster, pump up the pedal with the car off, and then hold the pedal down and start it up. The pedal should give a little. If it doesn't dip any, you've got a booster problem.
Look thoroughly around the master and look inside under the dash. Make sure it's not leaking there. Then check all your hose ends and fittings. It's imperative that you find where it's leaking, as the fluid won't just disappear- it's a closed system.
As for your haggard pedal engagement, it's very likely you've got air in there somewhere. Bleed out the whole car (once you find the leak and repair it) RR, LF, LR, RF. That should take car of it.
