Default brake booster help

i read that you can adjust the push rod in the brake booster in my ej and that will help it contact the master cylinder better or something to that nature my question is will that help the feeling of your brakes? like give them a more solid feeling? my brakes are going to the floor on my ej ive replaced the master cylinder and bleed them per the haynes manual but i was just wondering about this adjustment HELP!!!!!

No, the adjustability at the booster/pedal interface is for tuning pedal free play per the travel stroke. Won't affect the stiffness in the pedal.

Did you replace the m/c with a new/rebuilt one or salvage/used piece?
What procedure did you use to bleed your brakes?
Are you losing any brake fluid over time?

There's probably still air in the system. You need to bleed all four wheels in the proper sequence and to never let the MC get low on fluid during the procedure.
