Question 1996 Civic low brake pedal

Hi everybody,
I recently purchased a 1996 Civic Automatic 2 door.
The problem I'm having is a low brake pedal......
I have been a technician for many years, but this stumps me!
I changed all the brake lines and bled all wheels many times. There is no air in the system....... front calipers are nice and free. Rear brakes serviced. Brakes lines are not bulging.....
Any thoughts? Are there typical things on a Civic that give a low brake pedal?
I can not pump the brakes up and it brakes well...I just like the pedal a bit firmer.
Any thoughts and information is deeply appreciated!
