Ok so ive been having this problem for a while it seams...i hit the brake pedal and after about 1/4-1/2 way down the pedal will keep going, but no additional pressure will go to the pads. I though my front pads were dead so i replaced those with hawk HPS pads and went through the proper break in (rotors replaced as well) and im still having this problem...its been a good 2k miles on those pads/rotors so they are definitely broken in by now...im thinking there might be an air bubble in the brake lines? its full, it actually over flowed when i checked it after the drive up to RI for the big meet, so no problem on being low. what do you guys think? do i bleed, or could it be an entirely different problem?

Air bubbles in the system or your brake booster is faulty and not holding pressure.

so bleed the brakes and if that doesnt solve the problem its the brake booster?

unless you've had the bleeders open lately or there is a leak it's probably not air in you lines.
