Yes makes since, I got the car and the pedal wasn't as bad , but I could tell it wasn't right
I changed front pads and it got worse. Reading around about how changing the front pads (pushing in the pistons can flip the seals in the master cylinder) making it go bad.
My buddy owns a JY so I grabbed a used master, but its doing the same exact thing...so only thing now is to go buy a new master and see if that works.
