Default Clutch Pedal Too Light

Any reason the clutch pedal would have almost no resistance to push to the floor after the master and slave cylinders were replaced in the last 1000 miles? I'm looking at a used car with 20k miles. It has had the master/slave replaced twice in the last 1000 miles. My guess would be air in the lines but the clutch disengages fine and engages without stalling or grounding. The pedal just feels terrible compared to my last C6 or the same year.

A healthy hyd system should have a "light" pedal pressure on the C6. You current car is designed with this. You're previous car may have been "outta-spec."

I've had an LT1/T-56, an LS2/TR-6060, and two LS3/TR-6060 cars at this point. None have had a clutch that feels like this. After you start to overcome the helper spring it basically falls to the floor with no resistance. Very had to modulate or feel the engagement point because it feels like an on/off switch instead of being linear.

I removed my spring entirely, the best move I ever made. It initially felt lot heavier naturally but overtime I adjusted and now feels normal and proper. Plus now it feels like real clutch, easy to modulate, not like the in and off light switch originally.
