Usually with a bad brake booster you get a hard pedal not a soft pedal.So do you have drum or disc brake in the rear?

Alright if you had drum brakes i was going to tell you i would try adjusting up out of adjustment drum brakes can cause a low brake pedal.Can you pump the brake pedal up and make it hard?Do you have abs?Did you or a shop bleed the brakes?
