have a friend push the brake with the car on, and see if the pistons move with ease.
Use a C clamp, to move the piston in and push the brakes to move it out, do this a couple of times. Some times you can see and hear the piston brake loose if its stuck/frozen.
Once you have free movement, lubricate pistons bolts etc with anti-seize brake grease, and repeat for the other side.
good luck

i drive my car same way sometimes ...the feel u get in the pedal is the abs working for u in order not to lock up any wheels (a little bit of a prehistoric VSC system but it works)
the feel u get is because u stab the brakes and for a second it feels like its not braking but as soon as the calculations are made by the computer it starts to brake just fine.
Also u can not just go in there and change the master cylinder...the GS has a system of all in one and is not ur typical booster its actually a nitrogen tank and a compressor.....do more research
back when i was at university i spend most of my government money on my TT 300zx (about 10k ) now that i look back and think about it maybe i should have done something better with my money like travel or save it for a rainy day but till this day ...the car bug is still here and spend every extra cash i have on my cars ....

I just drove the car and when it happened again I tried giving it time to for the computer to calculate like you said, but it just kept doing it but didn't really stop. its weird because that stuck, bumpy, solid feeling i get on the pedal I can actually hear it too. I've had rotors and brake pads go bad on me before, I know what it feels like and sounds like and I know this isn't it. I'm definitely gonna have to take it to the dealer and get charged tuition money just to diagnose the problem.

remove rotor and put the caliper back on spindle, just hand tighten the two caliper bolts onto car.
