Hi there,

If you have been bleeding the brakes correctly and still not getting a good peal, you may have a faulty master cylinder. Sometimes the internal seal of the master cylinder will by-pass fluid causing the pedal to drop. ensure that you are bleeding correctly, if there is any sign of fluid leaking from the rear of the cylinder over haul or replace. A trained brake technician will have to inspect the master cyl to confirm if it is by-passing.
