Default Brakes ? help.

My brakes feel like aren't getting enough pressure or something. I have to push them all the way down like im trying to lock them up for them to "grab". If i push them a little bit it feels like it is doing nothing. Is this bc of old brake lines , calipers , or what? Thanks.

If you changed the MC, theres a good chance theres still air in the lines. Had to bleed 3 times after we changed my MC two different ways. You can either criss-cross like in the service manual, or "work your way towards the MC from the farthest corner" method. We did both methods just to be safe...
