    Hello

    I have a golf mk1 cab from 93, i upgrade front brakes to 280mm, calibers from golf mk3 GTI. And Master cylinder from golf mk2.
    But brake pedal is still soft and has to Press pedal more.

    Will it help to make a rear brakes til disc conversion and change the break Lines to stainless.

    sounds like you have air in the system, have you tried a pressure bleed? Also the rear drums might need adjusting slightly.

    You dont need rear discs for a good pedal, but you could fit some if you want
