issue with my brakes

I am having some issues with my current brake setup. I downgraded from wilwood kit to oem setup with goodridge lines. The problem is that sometimes the break goes straight to the floor. And if I am at a stop the peddle slowly loses pressure, but of I pull up on the hand brake the pressure goes back to normal and the brake peddle will be firm again. I have no idea what is going on. Rob and I bleed the system several time and I have bleed them myself several times. I have checked for leaks and there are none. Can anyone offer some insight into what could be causing my problem?

I didn't realize you were still having issues with this. Try this and let me know what happens.

With the engine stopped, depress the brake pedal several times, then depress the pedal hard and hold that pressure for 15 seconds. Does the pedal sink?

i would look at the master cylinder or break booster sounds more towards
the diagram in the booster has a leak in it

my accord does something similar because there is something wrong with the ABS system, not sure what though. haven't yet bothered to diagnose because it still stops well.
