for me my 2000 the brakes are rock hard and not like my 03 at all. I think this is an indication of my issues with my 00 I am having.

I have had boosters fail on my while driving, MC's go out, calipers & even had a piston break during breaking once.

Yours could just be normal. Take it out to a gravel road, get up to speed and then slam on the brakes to see if ABS kicks in. Obviously do this where it is safe to do it. You should feel the ABS kick in.

This is one area that is hard to describe in a message on a forum as it can have many variables and where knowing how it should feel vs how it actually does is hard to describe in words.
