i have blead the brakes and refilled with new brake fluid and the brake pads are still in almost brand new condition as soon as i touch the brakes they almost instantly drop to the floor and i just hope that they manage to get me stopped they also take a while to come back up after i take my foot off of it they dont even have the power to lock up a little on gravel or grass even just tryin to figure out the problem thanks

Do this before you start it up-pump the brakes till it gets hard and then start it up the pedal shoud drop slightly if the booster is doing its job

If you're stepping on the brakes constantly after you have pump it a few times while the engine is running and its sinking gradually-it points to the master cylinder unless you have a leak somewhere. Good Luck
