brake troubleshooting

Rotors. Pads, bearings, seal replaced.... Re-bled front brakes only.... Bled theentire system last week. Flushed the brake fluid in process.

I still have to pump that initial time... Some worse than others, but I definitely feel like once I have pressure its super firm and doesn't get lost until I leave it alone for a bit... I get no bite... Can't slam brakes or even stop fast at low speed.
.. unable to screech the front tires at all.

I did not find any fluid leaks of brake fluid... I'm not seeing anything that might be adding air or losing pressure.... If I hold the pedal while getting firm pressure for an extended period, I do not seem to lose it. So not suspecting a leak.

I'm trying to decide if the master cylinder, lines, or calipers need to be replaced.


Note... Other than bleed, I've not worked on rear brakes yet... I can't even slam brakes in reverse to tighten tears since I get no bite.


Brakes do slow me down a bit, but not a ton. Calipers did resqueeze when I put the new pads on so I think they are functional. Still thinking my hoses are fine..

Anyone got a troubleshooting tip I haven't done?
