Default brake issues help!

Ok tried searching didn't find anything. Well i replaced my brake shoes on my 5th Gen and wheel cylinder on the driver side. bled the brakes and was on my way. worked great. down the road go to apply the brakes gently and the pedal goes to the floor begin to pump and get my pressure back. Whats wierd is that when i go to slam on the brakes the pressure is there. but if i gently apply it goes to the floor.

Sounds like it might be a bad master cylinder. Thats what typically happens when you have a bad one. How old is your car?
