start from the passenger rear and bleed your way to the driver front. then try bleeding the master. midas might of fucked with your **** though. you could just be overthinking too. pedal should feel real firm about half way down.

One thing worth mentioning. Don't try to see how the pedal feels sitting in one spot on an ABS car. If you sit there pumping the pedal with the car running it will feel soft, but when you drive it will feel fine.....on a car that is fine that is.

You mentioned your master cylinder.....check that by pumping the brakes up with the car off. Hold normal pressure on them for a few minutes and see if the pedal drops. If so then it leaks internally. With one that leaks internally people will usually notice the pedal drop a little when sitting at a red light.
