also check your brake pads for sitting in the brackets and calipers ,some times the aftermarket pads do not sit correctly and this will cause a spongy pedal due to the caliper piston flexing the brake pad and acts like a spring pushing the piston back in ,,,,if the master is bad the pedal will slowly make its way to the floor under constant brake pedal presure

to isolate the caliper(s) block off each wheel with line clamps (if you are using rubber hoses) check the pedal each time you remove one of the lines ,this will help locate the issue
