Default Poor Brake Performance

I got stock brakes, and I dont think they are where they should be.

Rotors and pads are good. Little wear on both, but the car just doesnt brake how it should. Had the system flushed but it didnt help


Im thinking my master cylinder isnt working well or there is a vacuum leak if thats possible.

Any suggestions?

don't think you can check the MC, if it goes it goes, just gotta get it replaced.
