Obviously the solution to a squishy brake pedal is to bleed the brakes. I've bleed the brakes a lot. I fabricated a pressure bleeder and I have run tons of fluid through the system. I have also replaced the master cylinder. As far as I can tell, I'm not leaking any fluid. So this is extremely vexing to me.
Here's the part that's really weird; it's not squishy all the time. If I'm using the brakes a lot the pedal starts to stiffen up and I've got all of the braking power I need. But if I'm taking an off ramp, for example, and mash the brakes the pedal is really squishy and I can't lock up the tires. This is in contrast to when I'm left foot braking and can lock up the tires easily.
Before I start randomly replacing components I'd like to know if anyone has had a similar problem. Can the brake booster cause this problem? (I don't know how it could and I'm not having vacuum problems) The only things really left to replace are the calipers and I don't really want to randomly throw money at them.
