Spongy brake
I’ve gone and replaced both the master cylinder and the brake booster and still have the brake go down to the floor also I bled the front brakes and bled the master cylinder.
I had a leak with the rear wheel cylinders and replaced those as well . I’m running out of options tbh

re: Spongy brake [solved]
take to a shop and have them try to bleed - I seen cases that people sold the car because of brakes and the guys that bought it simply did bleed and got it solved

Re: Spongy brake

Re: Spongy brakes
Is one wheel not locking up when you apply the brakes? Might need someone to help you

Re: Spongy brakes
Better parts? Might need to redo the flare if it's leaking there

the piston came out
after pressing the brakes a bunch along with the drum it had fell on the floor.
I went ahead and put the cylinder back together and adjusted the shoe to the drum

Re: Spongy brakes

Re: Spongy brakes
Something would have to be way out of adjustment or wrong for that to happen with the drum on
