Default Brake pedal going to the floor slowly

Brake fluid level looks good.
1month old Brembo discs
1month old AEM pads
180k on the car
Upon stopping the car, I feel my pedal slowly going to the floor.
If I let my foot up all the way and then apply the brake then it is at full strength again, but slowly begins to go the the floor.

Any ideas??

The problem is in the master cylinder. That's what my money says. Seems like at that mileage, it's time for a new one.

I had the same problem I say bleed the brakes really really good. I mean to the point where you thing it just stupid. then if you still have the problem move of to the MC or other parts. At that point if it fixes the problem or not you only in 5 or so bucks.
