Default gsr rears, brake pedal goes to the floor!

ok i need some help...i have a 95 civic hatch cx. swapped out my drums for gsr rears. bled the brakes with the help of a friend, and topped off the brake fluid.

when i drive the car i have to double pump it to brake. if i just press on the brakes once, it travels to the floor and the car does not stop. is this because i need to swap out my master cylinder to a 4040? or is this because i messed up bleeding the brakes somehow? can i get away with not upgrading the m/c for now?

ok one last question...will the mc off of a 2000 SI (without abs) bolt into my car or will some flaring/bending be involved?

thanks!

I second that. You need to bleed your brakes more.

Its also highly recommended you use a 4040 prop valve.

ok cool...pedal travel is a little further than before but im going to assume thats normal. ill deal with it till i get my larger mc and booster. ill throw the fronts on once i get that too.

can anyone tell me why my passenger rear "creaks" when i turn right? i double checked all the bolts and everything. everything looks fine to me...
