brake problems

my brakes seem kinda weak but i just rebuilt them and put on new disc's and drums. I can push the pedal down and it will stop but if i hold it, it will eventually go to the floor. Any thoughts, thanks guys

Hey JLoyd,
Welcome to FTE!

I would look for a leak at all 4 wheels. If they are not leaking, and no lines are leaking, I would suspect a bad master cylinder. Specially if you put new wheel cylinders/calipers on? But do check the 4 wheels if you did any cylinder/caliper rebuilding. Let us know what you find.

One guy on here went through 10 Master cylinders before he found a good one.

IMO, Get one that is new and has a stainless steel sleeve as opposed to cast iron.
