WTF Did I do to my brakes??? (Solved)
Changed out my leaky MC for a new one.
Now the pedal goes to the floor before they grab. Not spongy just excessive travel.
Bench bled MC, and bled brakes. Also ended up blowing out braided line. (Front Driver) Before calling it a day.
Adjust the pushrod?

Check your wheel bearings. If the pedal engages normally before you drive it, something is changing when you drive, and it's probably a bad wheel bearing. I finally, after chasing this problem for 18-months, swapped all 4-bearings with AMSoil grease and have never looked back.

Brakes were like that before I took the car out to see how hard they were grabbing.

Order of the fronts doesn't matter, they are on separate lines. You need to do the LR/DR corner before the RR/PR corner, though.
I don't know how I survived without a pressure bleeder for so long. You should really consider buying one.

Broken Motive brand bleeder, converted to reverse bleed = the easiest dry-line brake bleeding I've done, and you don't have to bleed the master. I haven't bled my brakes since November and I've done 6 track days on them, lol. I do conventional pedal pumping when I already have a good bleed.
