i had this problem and soved it by bleeding the brake for AGES! must of put at least 6ls of fluid through the system. still have a bit of travel then pedal goes hard, you just get used to it. it will go to the floor when your drivign because you have the engine running to have manifold pressure assisting the servo. just keep bleeding is all i can suggest!
