Brake help and suggestions needed

[rp23g7]

So, my wheel cylinder had been sticking, causing my car to pull to the right, then left as i hit the brakes.

I replaced both front cylinders, and bled them. Before i replaced them, the brakes felt fine, and stopped the car fine.

Well after i replaced them i drove it, and it seemed ok, the next morning we took it to the car show, it took it on the freeway and when it took the exit the brakes were really bad, soft pedal and such.

We got home after the show and i bled them again, got some air out, adjusted them so there was slight drag. i did the rear also, adjusting them with slight drag. I took it for a drive, seemed ok, pedal was pretty hard and it took effort to stop, but i assumed it may need to break in again as i had them apart.

So this morning i took it to work, the brakes were really hard still,, they took time to stop, and the one wheel, the one that had the sticking cyl, sounded really "scronky" you know the sound that brakes make.

So i got home after work, and took the fronts apart again. No leaks, i scuffed the shoes up with sand paper, brake cleaned them and the drums, adjusted them so the almost spun freely and put them back together.

back the car out, forward and reverse, and the pedal felt the same, and it still made that "scronky" noise, dont know what is up, oh i have manual, 10x2.5 brakes

How old are the rubber lines in front? Sometimes they collapse internally and cause a blockage which gives a hard pedal and uneven brakeing. If the shoes got wet with brake fluid they cant be cleaned, gotta replace em, contaminated shoes will cause extra pedal effort to stop.

the brake shoes are dry, the brake hoses look ok externally. I think the springs got ruined from the heat and lost the tension, and the drums and shoes are glazed. I ordered a harware kit and am going to scuff the drums and shoes and bleed the whole car when i replace the hardware.
