when you stomp on the brakes, do you think itll have better stopping power if you were able to keep pushing past the floor?
The fluid is 100% full.
I slam on the brakes as hard as I can (they arent broken in mind you, so I only did it twice) but it seriously didnt even lock up the tires (and I dont have abs). It used to lock them up without even thinking, so I figured new brakes, calipers and pads it would be super easy to stop

But I hit the floor (or as far as the pedal can go) before it stops any harder.

You either have air in your brake lines and they need to be bled or your master cylinder is faulty and needs to be replaced. Nothing else to it, its one or the other.

It didn't do it with my stock stuff 10 minutes before I brought it to them.

and they rebled the lines.

odd.

So you think it's a failing master cylinder or ****ty work in the lines....

What should I check for on the master cylinder, to see if it's leaking?
It's not losing any fluid.

sounds like they didn't bleed the brakes correctly, its possible that its your master cylinder but last I checked, they shouldn't need to touch it if you're just swapping brake pads and rotors

You cant see a master cylinder leak usually...they leak internally.

bleed your lines and see if this still happens. also, it wouldn't hurt to check the installation.

why didn't you just do the install yourself? it's super easy.

They've been rebled...
Why? Because I didn't have to pay for it
