hi i recently installed 2 brake calipers on the front of my 2000 malibu and doing what i always do i bled out the system and made sure there was no air left..the brake pedal is now really low to the floor..i adjusted and bled the rear brakes as well and still low...i then chaged out the master cylinder to see if it was bad or gone but it was still the same..i even tried it with the old calipers again and still nothing...whats going on..i uses this car everyday and i need it fixed..if any one knows anything to try can you please let me know thanks

I've found that my brakes go a bit lower after I bled them although not totally to the floor. After pumping it, taking it out for a short ride and slamming on the brakes a half dozen times I find it gets better. Obviously, this needs to be on a side street and only if you have brakes. Try it in a driveway first. Hopefully you didn't run the master cylinder dry while bleeding.
