Brake pedal goes to the floor
I've just changed my front discs and pads. Now I'm unsure if this was happening before I changed the pads but when the engine is running I can press the pedal all the way to the floor, its hard to do this but it eventually goes down.
With the ignition off the pedal is rock solid near the top, but as soon as I start the car I can press it down to the floor. The brakes work still even when they are on the floor. Is the a problem? And what could it be. I don't think there is air in the system as with the ignition off It would be soft. Please let me know

Well if the pedal goes to the floor generally there are one of two issues: bad master cylinder/booster or too little brake fluid.

I would bleed the system and start over. Fluid is the cheapest issue you could have, so start there.

At first, when relatively un-pressurized you could push the pedal nearly all the way down, however a 2nd/3rd pump etc...would pressurize the systems and stiffen the pedal.
