Michael,
I'm sorry to hear your still having brake problems,I know the problem
happened before you installed the front pads but are the front calipers
releasing all the way? I mention this because you said you replace your
master cylinder a year or so ago with no problems, unless the new one has a
alignment or pressure relief problem you might start checking the calipers.
Good luck.
