What can cause brake pedal to go low ?
if you have to pump the brakes to achieve regular braking, it might be your MC seal going out. Hit the brakes do they keeping going down to the floor?
If not might just need to bleed your brakes.

check the pads. if there is huge pad taper (pads not wearing flat) then that may be a cause of the pistons to knock back quite a bit. you will get this more with slightly mroe agressive driving style vs every day driving.

When I've sucked air into the brakes, it usually has bubbles right away, then I bleed & bleed for a long time without bubbles; then finally more bubbles come out. I bet you just didn't bleed enough - besides, thats the easiest thing to check. How much fluid did you bleed out at each wheel?

one more thing to do when you are bleeding is to take a dead blow hammer or a rubber red neck mullet-i mean mallet and tap the caliper. like soda, bubbles can get stuck to the walls of the caliper and such.
now go drink a soda and think about it
