Firstly I will say I have bled my brakes many times and never had a problem before today. I know there are many opinions as to what order to do them but I have always done in this order: FR-RL-FL-RR as per my WRX workshop manual.

I replaced the old lines with Goodridge braided lines.

Anyway the only change from what has happened before when bleeding them is that there was an obvious big loss of fluid from the system when the old lines were taken off. The level in the resevoir never dropped below the minimum mark. I used almost a full litre of fluid doing the bleed after and I am certian there is no air in the lines. I havent driven the car as it is still on the stands but instead of the pedal feeling firm when you press it down it feels quite soft and has alot more travel in the pedal. Even when I start the car the pedal still feels quite soft with with alot more travel than I have ever had.

Is there air in the master cylinder or should that have been pushed out when bleeding the brakes??

Any ideas anybody ???
