So I have had this problem since I got my car, with it going back on the road soon I feel I should address the issue.
The brake pedal is stiff at about 1 inch down, fluid looks clean, replaced the pads and rotors with stoptech brakes and ceramic pads. It seems like slowing down at highway speeds it's just not slowing down like it should and it starts to feel a little crunchy if I start to brake harder, and the abs is off so it's not the pedal pushing back at me. Anyone have any ideas?

So who makes some good replacement parts? I don't want to just go picking the cheapest brand on rockauto or something. Should I go ahead and change the MC while I'm at it? I don't have any leaks in the system as far as I can tell
