I replaced the front left caliper a couple of months ago. Now my pedal sinks to ground at stop signs. I am planning to change the master brake cylinder. I am wondering if there were any mismatch between the calipers, would it cause any extra stress to the master cylinder. What bad effects can I observe from changing only one caliper? Thanks very much,

From what you describe, the master cylinder is failing. Changing only one caliper should have no effect on the master cylinder. This guide can help as well

Please go over this guide and report back.
