Default problems with the brakes

ok, here is the situation, i bled the brake lines and they seem fine. check the brake booster no leaks in the hosing. When i step on the pedal its really stiff but braking is horrible and is not instant, reaction for braking is bad. so what do you think it could be?

I'm having a similar issue, I'm leaning towards shitty pads with a very linear brake feeling, The person who owned the car before me had the brakes done.


I would say put some new pads on, wearever's from advance auto parts have a pretty good brake feeling for a OE replacement pad, and they're cheap so that would atleast help in the problem. And plus it never hurts to replace your brake pads.
