Help on Brake problem
Ok here is my dilemma. When i was going home yesterday
i noticed that after i stopped at the light my brake
pedal was slowly but surely going lower and lower.
I can still get the pedal back up if i pump it, but
again it will go down very slowly. Can someone please
help me with my problem. How do i fix it?

Do you think it could be the brake booster?? or is the
Master Cylinder that makes the pedal do that when it
goes out? Also could i just go and purchase one from
the junk yard and stap it on? Any help is really
appreciated, becuase I hate the way my brakes feel.

I second that. DEFINATLY the master cylinder. I know because i just replaced mine about month ago. You can get one from a junk yard, just press the pedel and test it beforehand. I got mine from Pepboys, and it cost me $50 + $15 core charge. Actually, they didn't have one for an SI model, so i took a chance and bought the non-si one. Turns out the only difference is that the SI one uses a bigger cylinder for better stopping power. Either one will work though.
most likley its the seal in between the booster and M/C....but since you are doing it, its best to upgrade to a bigger M/C ie. 90-1 prelude Si or CRX Si (90-1)....they are bigger....so it might help a little also....
So do you guys think it's the brake booster at all? Or
just forget about the brake booster and replace the
M/C. Would i need to get a seal like (eg6ajk) said?
Sorry for all the questions, but i want to make sure to
do it right.

Like i said, its almost definatly your master cylinder. Real simple way to find out. Press the brakes with the engine OFF. If the pedel still goes down slowly, its the master cylinder.
