Brake Pedal to the floor PICS
I was driving home just about 15 min. ago, and i noticed that my brake pedal is going further and further to the floor.
If I am coming to a stop, and it takes a while, the pedal goes to the floor slowly, but eventually makes it all the down there.
Not sure what to do, here is a pic of my front calipers:


Any ideas? Or do i need to take a trip to Just Brakes?

there is probably air in the hydrolic system. that can range from air in the lines to the master cylinder, to the prop valve, to the booster. step one. bleed the brakes. If you dont have time, and or rather spend some loot, take it to a brake place and have them diognose it for you
check your fluid level sounds like if it happend out of no were then you have a leak
in you brake system. If your car is dropped and your running big rims you probably rubbed one of the front lines causing it to drip. Brake systems just wont get air just because, it has to be exposed to it.

There are two possibilities: 1) The brake system is leaking fluid at some point, or 2) the master cylinder is bad.
If you are not losing any fluid from the MC reservior, then the latter is the problem and you should go ahead and replace the MC.

If you have a Helm's manual, they have a good set of steps for figuring out where exactly you're having issues. Has steps to narrow it down to either booster, master cylinder, or somewhere in the brake line system.
I'd bet money on it being a bad master cylinder though.

yeah like others said above, it sounds like you got a bad master cylinder. I had the same problem and a new cylinder fixed the problem. Remember to get a new one dont get referbished, also bench bleed it before you install it then give your break system a good power bleed your breaks will feel great again. BTW your setup looks great your lucky!!!
