Default Brake cylinder

Hi there,

I just replaced new rear rotors and brake pads same time and bleed out the fluid n air.. but i still pedal on floor not like tight... but brakes works. I took it to shop and they said it might needs a new master cylinder brake for 590 dollars.. what the heck?? It was working great til i was told that the rear rotors n pads need to be replaced so we did replace them... need some helps here..

Thanks

there still may be air in the system. try bleeding at least 2 more times. start with passinger rear, then driver rear, passinger front and lastly the driver front. use a good brand fluid, castrol dot 4.
