master cylinder? air in lines?
me and my friend just changed my front brake pads and got the oem rotors turned. the guy that turned my rotors said i had 1 more turn left. we bleed the lines and everything was good then about 4 days later the petal started to go to the floor but it still apllies pressure enough to were i can stop, me and my dad bleed the brake line again it was good for about 1 week then same thing i know its not safe to drive around like this. i asked my friends some say the lines have air in them but i really dought it since my dad owns an automotive shop + they were bleed 3 times, the only other thing we could come up with is the master cylinder. o ya the other reason why i think it is the master cylinder is it mostly goes all the way down to the floor at slower speeds i tstill does it at higher speeds but usually stops before going to the floor.

your the expert on this one kid , "ask your dad" hes the mechanic -.- . my dad died this chrismas i would of asked him for you , he owns Kwik Kar here in plano :/ when you bleed the brakes make sure you really push down on them hard (get all air out) need to hold it down for about 5 secs. each time , slow push in hold and bleed

Well it's either your mc or air in your brake lines. Bleed them 3 more times and see if that cures it. If not, it's probably your mc.

you resurfaced your rotors and changed brake pads?? why did you bleed the lines?? when you do those you dont need to bleed the system. Check to see if you are loosing fluid also

Yeah thats what I was thinking too. I've been having the same problem, more than likely, your MC is shot. Time for a new one.

Another, thing you may want to look into. Brake booster. If you take off the M/C then look into the B/Booster to see, if you see any brake fluid were the M/C attaches to the B/B . if you do then change the B/B, If you dont see fluid then in the hole then Your good....
