Default Brake problem

Ok, so I put new rotors,pads,and stainless lines on the car, bled the brakes about six times now and still nothin! pedal goes strait to the floor. The car has been on jack stands for over 2 weeks now. I am wondering what the hell could be the problem. I was thinking the master cylinder should get replaced next. Any help on this would be great. Thanks

Do a test with the car on and see if it still goes to the floor. My car did that after i changed the lines for a while. But it only did it when the car was off, it was the damnest thing. But they work fine now.

Hmm....Did you check for leaks? Maybe your lines are not on the right side or maybe your bleeders are crossed or something?...I did that too with my speed bleeders. I had two of them crossed and they leaked and sucked for a little bit till i figured it out.
