Soft braking I have a 93 trans am that I recently replaced the pads, rotors, flex lines and master cylinder on, along with using ATE Typ200 fluid and bleeding it twice.
I am finding the brakes to still feel soft. I am expecting less movement of the pedal and a much firmer pedal. Could something else be wrong?

Did you bench bleed the master before putting it on? If not, you will NEVER get all the air out..
Also, if you have air in the ABS block, it will feel mushy and is very hard to get all the air out of it... Short of going to a dealership to have it bled with a scantool to activate the ABS solenoids, you can go out, hammer on the brakes, get ABS to kick in, and then re-bleed. May have to do this a few times though.
