Default Brake, brake.. BRAKES!

The brakes on my car have been sucky for quite some time, Basicly flat to the floor the brakes dont lock up, and its very spongy.

I assumed this could be the master cylinder and changed it today with a VERY clean working Master Cylinder.

The issue is my brakes are spongy as hell and the car is VERY hard to stop.

After bleeding each caliper about 3 times to get the air out some things seemed wierd. I noticed when I undid the bleeder valve on the passenger side front caliper, the brake fluid flow was VERY slow and when the pedal was depressed, even with the bleeder valve loose, It didnt blow any fluid out. Also the caliper appears to make a "knock" sound when you brake when driving.

Each of the other 3 calipers shot fluid out at a great speed as usual. Could this be my issue because the caliper isnt bleeding correctly? The only other thing I have left to change is the brake booster...

Thanks
