What exactly are your brakes not doing? The reason I ask is that mine are acting up after a year as well. I thought my front calipers were tired, but after replacing them the pedal is still soft, and the car doesn't stop well at all. A year ago I replaced the booster, the master cylinder, all the flex lines, the brake pads, and the check valve. Back in July the front brakes kept locking if I applied them while rolling with the wheels turned. I could never get them to do it some place where I could take a closer look. Eventually I came to the conclusion that the front calipers only were hanging up. I replaced them on Friday, drove the car yesterday (with a soft pedal) and they locked on me again. A second push of the brake pedal will release them, but despite my replacing the front calipers, the problem is still here.

Now I'm thinking its a booster issue.
