Alright tried Wedley's brake booster test, no sink in the pedal after I turn the car off.

Wedley when you said this,
im thinking it is the master cylinder.
i have a faulty brake booster and the pedal never goes to the ground but it just seems like i cannot get enuf leverage to stop the car
did you mean to say master cylinder again in that second sentence? That is exactly my problem, the pedal is firm, and for the most part feels right, but it simply lacks the power to stop. But why would this cause my brake pads to burn if not enough stopping force is being applied?

Oh and I'm running cheap-ass wear-ever pads from advance auto parts cause I got tired of wasting money on 65 dollar hawk pros. They're awesome pads hell ya, but it doesn't matter what pad i run, they all get fried in short order anyways.
