problem...brake pedal is really stiff when driving

so this started about 2 weeks ago, my brake pedal feels really stiff while driving now. it only moves down a little bit when i brake. its not enough to be dangerous, i can just tell the feel of the pedal has changed significantly.

ive checked my brake fluid resevoir and it looks fine. ive searched the hell outta of it on here but no situation seems to match mine.

anyone got any ideas, possibly a problem with the brake booster?

check the vacuum line to the brake booster, it is a large one. also, look for the vacuum resevior. not sure where it is on the evo, but check the vac lines going to it and make sure they are ok as well.


more then likely it is a vacuum leak of some sort. last inspect the pedal and make sure there is nothing in the way to hinder it from moving. although unlikely, it is possible if it was a sudden change in feel.
