it feels like its scraping and you can feel the pedal not really grab.

same problem here, are you rotors rusting at all along the outside? I replace pads and rotors, and it still was happening, feeling a weak brake that is. turns out my calipers went bad and I learned that is VERY common in older 4gen ludes.
