Default spongy brakes

i changed my master cylinder a few weeks ago. brakes are spongy, but still work only when i push the pedal all the way in, practically to the floor. and when i slam on the brakes and ABS kicks in, the pedal goes straight to the floor.

And when I am at stoplights or just stopped and using my brakes, my idle drops below 500 rpms.

I've read that this could be the brake booster.

anyone using a brake booster from autozone? any problems with them? they good?

acura wants $440 for a new brake booster. F that.

Or should i just get a used one?

**** Or what is the problem? I've bled the brakes 6 times. No Air. Stock brake lines. But those are not causing this. So no SS lines yet, but I will be getting them. ****
