I acquired this '94 944T last summmer. Even then the brake pedal was soft/spongy. The front pads and rotors were a few months old at time of purchase, and I replaced the rear pads and rotors, and completely bled the system (using EZ Bleed tool from IPD) shortly after taking posession. The pedal feel did not improve much after that.

Now that the weather's turned colder I believe the pedal travel has increased. The braking performance is fine once engaged, and nothing appears to be pulling. Wheels spin freely when on the jack. This past weekend I bled the lines again (some bubbles were present), and also verified that I had no bulging flex lines during braking. There is no evidence of weeping bleed screws. If one gives the pedal a quick double-pump the feel is good and pressure is maintained.

I'm thinking the only thing left to replace is the master cylinder.

Anything else I should try as well?

Thanks!
