So my 88 brakes went out on me. Nothing like the pedal going to floor when your trying to stop for a turn. Good thing I fixed the E-brake. lol

Anyways, before this happened I had the ABS light come on randomly for a while and I could hear the a swoosh when I held the pedal in and it would slowly go down but the brakes still held. Then the day i was driving it up to the woods the drivers front started to stick (disc fronts). So I turned around to go home and when i got to my street brakes gone.

I haven't done an trouble shooting yet but I supposes its the booster, master, or? I haven't changed brakes or anything. What do you think it is before i start throwing money at something i rarely drive?

pedal going to the floor is usually a sign of a broken/leaking brake line.

Yes, first step: have you lost fluid?

Could it be the mastercylinder guys? Mine did similar to this and was my mastercylinder. I didn't have a sticky caliper though.

Yes.

But, the OP needs to tell us if he has lost fluid, first.
