Default Soft Brakes

Hi,

I am having some trouble getting the spring back into my brakes. I have bled the brakes starting with the farthest from the reservoir to the closest. I have replaced the wheel cylinders on both rear wheels. It just still doesn't seem to have solid brakes.

What else can I try to help firm them up?

Thanks

Brian

Replace the front brake lines...either with OEM rubber ones or the stainless braided ones..that helped my pedal feel quite a bit.....

Test the master. Pump brakes up, when pumped up hold foot on pedal, if pedal holds, master good, if pedal goes slowly to floor, bad master.
