Default brake problems: please help. long stops peddle slowly goes to the floor.

after driving for a while and doing slow stops from like 50mph peddle slowly goes to the floor. I can pump it to get pressure back but it does the same thing (goes slowly to the floor). will even do this at a stop.

Already tried to bleed and put in good fluid (valvoline excedes dot 3-4)
thanx

never clarified what type of car, class it is run, etc.

your best bet if it is class legal is to get a dual cylinder tilton setup with Super Blue (german company) fluid

*scratches head*

A master cylinder, some tools, and some time.

I don't think I understand your question.

umm sorry guys it is for a 95 integra. and its in this forum because road course guys have knowledge about brakes. and the other forum says suspension not brakes.

i was trying to find out how to perform a master cylinder swap (btw i know what one is) without getting bubbles in the system. I personaly have done a lot of work on cars but have never doen this. thanx for any constructive info.

My suggestion... take your car to your favorite local shop and say "I think my master cylinder is going bad, can you guys check it out and let me know what it'll cost for you to fix it for me?"
