My friend and I last night installed my new power booster and master cylinder. Then, we pumped the brakes and unscrewed the brake lines going into the master cylinder to try and get any air out. We then proceeded to each wheel to bleed. Did I miss somehting somewhere? My brakes still suck and I even tried adjusting the rod in the power booster thinking maybe it wasn't out far enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated b/c this is getting on my nerves being that I just bought all this new stuff just to have my brakes suck. Thanks for any help.

Well, you need to state why it sucks. Too loose? Too tight?

Did you bleed the brakes using the brake lines or the bleeder valve. If you used the brake lines you could still have air in the wheel cylinders. Also I believe that you have to bleed the master cylinder, I might be wrong on that one though.
