A 20 yr old car so jammed caliper, failed master cyl, or internally failed brake lines are all possible. I am not a total fanboy of aftermarket SS braided brake lines but would consider replacing with OEM as just good maintenance at this point. Was there any noticeable discoloration when you flushed the brake fluid? This will often reveal contamination or failed seals.
Normally when pads get replaced the caliper pistons will visually move during the process. I want to see them move freely to make sure nothing is binding.
Process of elimination:
1. Crappy pads
2. Aged out brake lines
3. Caliper piston binding
4. Failed master cyl.
What else?
