u check ur fluid or any leaks in the lines that could be leting air bubbles in (for your pushing the brake pedal down far problem)

as far as ur reverse do u press the brakes when it makes the noise? or does it make the noise if u press or dont press?

Shouldn't a spring noise lead you to suspect a mechanical problem with your brakes
