Installed two reconditioned calipers on rear brakes. Installed new rotors and pads on front and rear. Bled the lines and test drove. Pedal was still kind of mushy and eventually went to floor if pressed continuosly. Replaced the master cylinder. Bled master cylinder on bench, installed and bled all lines. Brakes are improved and sharper, but pedal still goes to floor if pressing continuously.

If you are not leaking anywhere best check again the brake master cylinder could be leaking internally thru seals/cups
