Default Brake pedal goes to the floor?

Well I have a 90 CRX Si with disk all around I had this problem last year but thought it was the master or booster wel I switched all that to the bigger Integra one and I have s/s lines all around I blead the system 2 times so I don't know WTF is going on.
So what happends is I'm sitting at a stop light and holding the pedal it slowly starts to go to the floor if I press it hard the it goes to the floor??? also the pedal feels like ****.

Any help would be great guys TIA Rob

hey rob...sounds like you have a leak somewhere.....check under the MC...see if there is fluid draining down the booster under the MC. also look at the inside of your wheels to see if there is a buildup of dirt that would collect from the brake fluid being dripped on them. gotta have a leak somewhere man

Yeah I'm going to have to go with Mr. Black on that one, sounds like you have a major leak. Was it working fine before the red light? After it goes to the floor try pumping it and then try pressing it to the floor again, then get out and check your brake fluid, if your running lower than what you were, you diffently have a leak.

You should check to see if you are loosing any fluids... if you are then its a leak. If not you could have got another bad booster. I had replaced my booster once for the same problem and it didnt fix it, turns out I had put in another bad booster. Did you get your integ booster used?

Anyhow good luck
