I always had bad brake pedal on this car. I started out by replacing the calipers because they were leaking anyway. Still no pedal. Went ahead and replaced the master cylinder and booster combo. Bled system and still no pedal. I took it to a local shop that has certified mecanics and they are having a hard time. They have replaced the front two calipers again, the master cylinder again and all the rubber hoses and power bled the system and its still has little pedal. What should I do?

If you remove the master cylinder from the booster, there is a small rod that pushes the piston of the master cyl. Make sure the rod just touches the piston whe the master cyl is installed.
