bleed the lines again. if that dosnet work pick up a gsr or si prop valve. make sure your lines are secure. maybe pull off all the lines and add some plumbers tape for a good seal.

it's not the prop valve or the MC... sounds like he didn't bleed it after installation. Even with stock eg pv and mc... you WILL FILL A DIFFERENCE WITH TYPE R Brakes

Yes, but without the above parts, he won't stop on a dime.

Of course. He'll need to bleed the lines thoroughly.

If you bled them correctly, then your pedal would NOT even be close to the ground!! Did you pour in more brake fluid into the resevoir?? Have you checked to see if there's any in there. I hope you did! Iknow these are dumb questions, but there's NO REASON for your pedal to even be close to the floor
The reason why I said that you'll definately feel a difference without the MC and PV is because I ran 5lug without for awhile and the braking was still bad ***.

Okay, come to think of it. I think that your MC is going out. Either your MC or slave cylinder. If your pedal is going down like that. CHeck them out
