We're thinking along the same lines. Something that would affect both front calipers.
Brainstorming here but is there anything that could prevent the rod/linkage from coming all the way back? Hitting the firewall or bracket?
Isn't there a rod between the booster and MC? Is it adjustable?
Maybe your new booster/MC combo had enough new power to kill both front hoses at the same time?
Wouldnt hurt to get some new ones, maybe some shiny steel braided ones, since you dont know how old they are.
jhow66 is right. If your hoses are collapsed you can crack the bleeders while they are still stuck. If they release that is a sign pressure is being held there.
Again, I'm just thinking out loud so if I'm repeating stuff just put me on ignore, I'm used to it.
