Waita min, slow down...
So, why did the rotors not fit? Wrong part or were the ones on there larger?
Why would you get new calipers??
Why would you get a new master cylinder?

new calipers should be replaced when the boot is torn, leaking or ceased.
a new master cylinder is rarely ever replaced.
I would have to know how you went about replacing your caliper... I am guessing you didn't bleed it fully.

Did you ever get a new rotor for your other side? its always best to do the same thing to the otherside.

My best guess is to bleed all the brakes. Cause about the onl thing you have left to check is air in the system. When you bleed the brakes do you hold down the close the screw? Cause if you dont it cancells itself out. Dont mean to rip on ya if ya know what your doin' jus tryin to help.

get rotors to match stock, replacing an axle at a time. Then get a pro to bleed your brakes. Did your master cyl come with bench bleed instructions? you probbaly have good parts, just need to get them installed properly so you don't kill someone out on public streets.

Sounds to me like your brakes need bleeding some more. How did you bleed them?
