please help me found my problem in braking!!!

well ok...recently ive been noticing my brakes are taking alot to brake now..like i have to press my brake all the way down to actually stop...around 2/3's the car starts to stop but the other 1/3 it doesnt do crap...i have a 95 camaro Lt..and already ive replaced my master cylinder, did the bleeding thing, and even gravity bleed the whole thing again..and still its the same thing...could my pads be going out in the front? shoudl i check them and see if they need to be replaced? please this is bugging me...also ive been drivng a 98 t/a for a good 2 weeks and i think i got use to the LS1 brakes over my Lt1 brakes...could that also be a reason?

Re: please help me found my problem in braking!!!

Might be the reason. If you're looking for a good, cheap, and effective way to upgrade your brakes, the LS1 setup is great. I noticed a HUGE difference in braking after the swap... even though the pads on the LT brakes had plenty of meat left. The biggest improvement was in wet braking... the LT brakes would fade really bad when wet and almost caused me to get in an accident a number of times. Never had that problem with the LS setup.

Got everything needed for the swap for about $220 and it was probably the best money ever spent in the car. Just remember to get your front end aligned ASAP cause it will chew your tires up quick. I ruined a good set of tires in about 3K miles cause i didn't have time to go get it aligned.
