Exclamation Giant Brake Problem Please Help

Ok , When i first got my trubo II the wrong dot fluid was put in the brake lines. This led to all my brakes locking up while driving. So i bled them to get all the air out and wrong fluid. after that things went back to basicly normal. Now like 6 months later my brakes are failing horribly. When i depress the brake while driving the brake goes to the floor almost, stopping only inch away and at that point i get minimal braking power only to the rear wheels it seems, then it will sink to the floor. but if i jam the brakes it will seem to catch the brakes alot but then goes the ground with a bit more resistance. if i slow push the pedal it will go the ground with little or no resistance. When the car is off it does basicly the same thing. i tryed to search but i need to know a direct answer on what i should replace. Thanks for your help guys.

So what have you done to fix it?

inspection?

Bleed brakes?

check for damaged lines?

Flush fluid?

Replace master cylinder or damaged calipers?
