    my vh commodores brakes go all the way to the floor plenty of brakes on the rear not much on the front just rekitted the master cylinder the pedal is very squishy goes all the way to the floor wondering what it could be maybe a line or something the pads and discs are in good nick just been machined and new pads

    I reckon air in the lines too, unless you have done something wrong when kitting the M/cyl.

    i honestly can't see why people re-kit m/cylinders when new ones are so cheap. i'b bleed the brakes again and then see what happens. bleed em in the correct order, wheel furtherest from the m/c to the closest etc
