If the pedal feels soft and spongy, you have air trapped in your brake lines. Did you prime the master cylinder before you installed it? Air in the brake line will not let the fluid fully compress. With all that you changed out, your brakes shoudl feel like new. Read up on how to bleed brakes or take it to a pro.......but don't continue to drive it the way it is.

Why do Brakes go to floor and no loss of fluid?
The master cylinder for the brakes is probably out or going out..the piston inside the master cylinder is letting the fluid bypass it. OR You have air trapped in the brake lines and must bleed the brake lines. When you step on the pedal, the air does not compress so the pedal goes to the floor. You must get all the air out of all the lines including the master cylinder for the brake system to work correctly. There won't be any fluid leaks with either of these scenarios....... ........only if you have a leaking brake caliper piston or with a drum brake cylinder, where the seals are shot, and you can see the fluid running down on the tires Don't drive it until you find the problem.
