Time to ask for some help. I have a brake problem. Pushing on the brakes feels like on stepping on a brick, they are rock hard, but the stopping power is not there. Some history on the system; less then 5k ago, I had a new master cylinder, and brake booster installed, the fluid flushed, dot 4 installed. New front slotted rotors and carbon metallic pads less than 3k ago. The rears were scheduled to be done next, in the spring. When I had the booster installed they had about 30% left on the rear pads. The brakes were working fine, then I did not use the car for about 2 weeks due to bad weather, when I used it next is when the problem occured.
Any ideas would be great.
Thanks.
 
A hard pedal is usually an indication of a failing booster or possibly loss of vacuum to the booster. Check the hose leading to the booster for cracks or even if it is not on correctly.
 
Yes, I'll check that in the morning. I was thinking it probably has something to do with the booster, but hoping not.
