I have the car listed above with a v6 base model without E-brakes. The pedal feels very light no pressure, I would like to replace them myself if I can possibly get instructions maybe a video on it. Honestly, any information to move me forward on my project would be highly appreciated. Thanks

I would check the parking brake cables as well, here is how to replace the emergency brake shoes to get you started.

Please go over this guide as well which gives you a step by step, I also included how to do the job on your car as well in the images below.
