my brake pedal sinks when i stop......
when im driving and step on my brakes, the pedal slowly sinks to the floor. so i have to let go of the pedal and step on the brakes again to slow down. do u guys think its the brake master cylinder?
ive just bled the brakes so i know theres no air in the system.
any suggestions to whats wrong?

mine does the same thing (90 lx)
people have told me its either the master cylinder or the calipers
i got it checked by my mechanic he says all i need is to machine my rotors, and get new pads and shoes
it happens cuz ur loosing pressure, any vibration when u stop?

Was it doing it before you bled the brakes? Are there any leaks?

Did you pump the pedal all the way to the floor when bleeding the brakes? This will loosen dirt and /or blow the MC seals out. It's most likely the MC is bad. Just double check to make sure none of the bleeders on the calipers are loose...
