90 civic si hatch brake question
all my hoses are connected, there is fluid in the cup (reading full now) the pads are good, but when i hit the brake i have to really stand on it to get it to stop.. is this normal, or should i try a new master cylinder? and tech tips on how to trace the problem?

It is def your brake booster. Air in the lines makes your pedal sink with out your brake booster or vacum assist will make your break pedal hard

also, what color was the fluid?!?!? if it is just topped-off with good fluid and the rest is crap, then you will experience what you're experiencing. if/when you evacuate all of the fluid, check the bottom of the resevoir, cause it could be all gummed-up.
