if they go to the floor you have air getting into the system.

there not all the way to the fllor but there pretty close. I'm thinking the calipers are letting loose after they clamp. Sometimes when I'm pushing the brake barely moving the pedal will pulse and the brakes will fade a lot? Idk kinda weird I can't stage good to race until i fix this.

if your pedal goes almost all the way to the floor, then youve got air in the system. did you bleed them right, how did you bleed them, did you inspect the calipers for any tears in the seals?

when u first press the brake pedal and goes to far down pump it a couple of times, if pedal stop sooner then prior pump thats a sign of air in system. however if it goes down to the same spot I would look at master cylinder.
