Default Soft Brakes/brakes go almost to the floor

ive searched the forums, and from what ive seen is that bleeding all 4 brakes, replacing the master cylinder, or replacing the brake booster is what is recommended to fix this, so i was wondering if there are some other things you guys could suggest to me to fix this problem, it kind of scares me, because i feel like my front brakes do not work.

thanks.

yea, thnx for all the help, i guess, i found out what the problem was.

in my rear right drum, a peice of the brake shoe broke off and punctured the brake hydraulic thing in the drum brake, or whatever you want to call it.

well, that caused a slow leak and made my pedal soft, so that took a good 5 hrs to fix and get the parts for....

Sorry no one answered you, but it weould better in the future if you posted in either the 1st or 2nd gen section. Many people don't even look at the main section. Try general tech as well.

ok, ill do that in the future, i just figured that people more frequently visited the general section and it falls under general neon problems.

That's what I thought too, but I've learned many just go straight to their individual section.
