low pedal

I dont know a lot about brakes, but my brake pedal seems to be very low to me and it takes a hard push to stop. Is there anything I can do, its always seemed kinda like this even after having my brakes done, but I always just though it was just it being an older car, then other people drive it and are like dang your brakes are weird. Is this normal or whats the deal?? It has front disc and rear drum, any help would be great

Re: low pedal

Try bleeding the brakes and make sure you have enough fluid in the master. Check your wheel cylinders too as they can cause that to happen. Good luck mate
