Air in your lines, bad brake lines.

Try bleeding your system, if that dosen't help at all then replace the master cylinder

Yes or you can get a DIY kit that allows you to press on the brakes and when you release a check ball falls down stopping air from being sucked in

i thought a bad brake booster would make your brakes Hard? i would think its the master cylinder if bleeding doesnt fix it
