Default WOW-no brakes, is that safe?

'95 Civic EX coupe

ok so i was driving home from work the other day, and as i was going down a hill with a stop sign at the bottom, i eased on the brakes, nothing. put it to the floor, nothing. i got home from downshifting and e-braking. there was no signs before of this happening.

i checked the lines for leaks, nothing. i bled the lines, and added more brake fluid. that didnt help. i have aftermarket suspension (KONI) and the rear passenger side is rubbing the steel brake line like hell but its not rubbed through or leaking (im replacing that soon). i dont want to take it to a shop if i can fix it myself. is the master cylinder shot?

That's seriously dangerous. Down shifting and e-braking what save you from crashing into something. Get that fix ASAP.
