The problem is that the brake pedal has a long "travel" where I need to push it in a good bit if not basically the entire way for it to start doing something and to start having resistance. When the motor is switched off, the pedal is rock hard already but can be made harder my pumping it a bit. The pressure is kept well if I keep my foot on it.

When driving I can feel the brakes having an effect from basically the first mm onwards, it's just that for actual brake performance to happen it's 90% travel. After that it begins being kinda squishy but with resistance.

When standing, the pedal is very undefined until the 90% "resistance point".

I've taken it out for drives and the brake performance is consistent.
I can make it ABS brake just fine, and it's survived a couple emergency brake processes too.

When I bought the car, the pedal already felt kind of shit. (Not that it's much to go off of. The suspension + brakes had to be basically completely redone. New Shocks + Springs, Wheel Bearings, bushings, stabilizer bar etc. are on it now)
