FYI, First gen cars are prone to waterlogged brake boosters. I had similar problem with my 99. I have a Tip and noticed there was no "creep" at stoplights. Prior to 2000 the cars had a 2 piece bellows that connected the brake rod from pedal to booster. The part that the rod goes through allows water to get in and corrodes the inner part of the booster rendering it useless. I was lucky I have heard some people have the opposite problem, No stopping and back up into things. Easiest way to check is to pop off the vacuum line to the brake booster in the frunk and stick your finger in try to find the water level or something that will absorb water to see if that is the problem.
