Default Brake problems.. wierd to me.

So what would cause this?

Brake pedal needs excessive force to get brakes to Apply.
Brakes are Bled.
brakes work fine
Car sits
Brake pedal needs excessive force to get brakes to Apply


Does not seem normal to me,
no leaks at calipers or MC, MC is still full.

Default

assuming you mean when car is running and rolling down the road?

if the pedal force needed is the same as when the car is off and after you pump the brakes a few times to use up all the vacuum in the booster and the pedal gets hard,

then my guess would be a problem with the brake booster and/or the engine vacuum being applied to the booster.
