[Now that you mention the pedal I would have to say MC.
hard pedal would indicate Booster, soft or to the floor MC, air in the line, lost fluid.
Like I said the pad theory is most likely a shot in the dark, but I have seen it before. Plenty in-stock if you need one

Well, I guess it is the pads then.

David,
Your car is 17 yrs old. Before trying to make it go faster I would:
Change the brake fluid.
Replace all soft brake lines.
Rebuild/replace master cylinder.
Replace(at least)the seals on the calipers.
Repace/resurface rotors.
Install pads.
Tell your girlfriend not to go 110 until you finish all the above.

There was maybe a shot glass of brake fluid in the MC, front pads were potato chips, so I replaced them and went ahead and bled the brakes-figuring air proably did get in (which was evident on bleeding the driver side front) while the fluid was so low. Any how, all is good now. And yes, I did use DOT4 fluid, Valvoline SuperSyn.
