Brakes
When i go to stop, i have to push my brake peddle just about to the floor to stop quickly. do you think there is a problem with the booster or what?

your rear brakes are WAY out of adjustment or you have a leak somewhere... I'd be checking them wheel cylinders, steel lines, and flex hoses.....

If there's no signs of a leak, the brake master cylinder itself may be going bad. When they start to fail, you have to press the pedal down farther before getting a response-sometimes have to pump it to get a firm pedal again.

i'm pretty sure its not leaking. i can feel it grab but its a slow stop. it just doesnt like to really grab and stop on a dime so to say.

if there is no sign of a leak, it usually means that the master is bypassing internally. it is also possible that the rear brakes are out of adjustment, but they would have to be a long ways out of adjustment to get the pedal to go to the floor. either way, get it looked at ASAP.
