If that's happening it's more like a gradual loss of braking, low engagement, or a generally shitty pedal feel, i.e. doesn't give much feed back because the hydraulic fluid isn't compressing evenly.

Spongy brakes is going to be air in the system. Period.
Trust me, a bad master cylinder can definitely cause spongy brakes.

I've gotten a few years out of a parts store MC before. I wanted a Honda one, but new they're really pricey, and from the junkyard, who knows how long it'll last. :( Just don't expect it to last as long as the OEM one, probably half as long. I know my parts store clutch MC started leaking two years after it was installed.

Not my point. You asked if he had 4 wheel discs, he already mentioned replacing wheel cylinders which means he has drums in back.
