Later boosters were changed to prevent that.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

How can I bring the pedal back to where it was?

POST 2Original post

Check your brake fluid level!! also check pad wear, as the pads wear the fluid depletes

POST 3Original post

Bleed the system with new brake and clutch fluid. and make sure your brake wear sensor on each pad is attached. Some crazy track racers do not connect the sensor up as they change brakes more frequently than the normal drivers. You may have an ex track car on your hands. I think its nice to know when the pads are ready for a change. Saves wear on Rotors when changed on time.

POST 4Original post

Unless you are out of fluid and got air in the system or there is something wrong with the pedal assembly. You will probably need a new a master cylinder. It is also possible that your vacuum booster sucked in some water and has internal rust. Early cars (pre 2002?) were prone to booster problems when the front drains under the battery area were clogged allowing water to be sucked into the vent hole on the bottom of the booster. Later boosters were changed to prevent that. Thin pads won't effect the height of the pedal.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
