Car doesn't stop unless floored
I have an 89 GTA, 4 wheel disc. I have to floor the car for it to come to a stop and it wants to roll when I do that still. I think its air in the lines...What else could it be?

Sounds like your master cylinder has gone out. I had the same problem in my Lincoln.
.....by stating "to the floor" you're implying that the brake pedal is touching the floor board and you're practically standing on it??...if that's what you mean, then it definately sounds like your master cylinder is KIA.

Yea man you need to check your master. Are you losing fluid fast? Quick test might be to park her after a drive and check to see if you're leaking out from the rear. Might I sugest you look into steel lines as well. if your lines are starting to colapse, that will also cause you problems. I'm getting to that point myself....
