Default Brakes?

The other day i was driving fast, about 80 just cruiseing and there was a possum that ran in the street lol and when i stomped on the brakes (which i shouldnt have i panicked) i didnt lock up but my brake pressure went to the floor almost and it wasent stopping me. i have no clue why, its oem rotors, brand new ceramic pads, and new calipers and master cylinder. any suggestions?

check the rear wheel cylinders for leaks they are a common problem on all rear drum cars they wear with time. You need to take the drum off and look inside to see if there not leaking. You should adjust your rear brakes while your in there. This still wont fix your current problem if there not leaking but the brake pedal will feel stiffer.
