Well i got my car back from my mech today. He told me that my breaks are good and that the rotors are in good shape. I dont feal the car breaking like before, almost have to put my entire foot down to stop. On harder stops i can feal the ABS wanting to kick in. What else could it be?

Sounds like you need to bleed the brakes. If that doesn't work, your master cylinder may be bad.

Bleeding brakes is fun. Make sure whoever is pumping the pedal has some strong calf muscles, lol. I have bled too many brakes in my lifetime aready. You walk away with a sore right leg, lol. Have fun

or you could just use a power bleeder. You just hook these up to an air hose, no pumping needed.
