Once you have replaced the booster and the brake pads and your brake pedal is still very low, then there are some possible explanations of the problem. Air in the brake lines is one of the widespread causes. When any kind of brake work is performed--particularly the booster or brake pads--it is important to bleed the brakes correctly to get rid of all the air in the system. Bubbles in the air will decrease hydraulic pressure causing soft or low brake pedal.
It may also be due to a bad master cylinder or a worn out master cylinder. In case the seals within the master cylinder are punctured, it might fail to generate sufficient pressure, despite having the new booster. Ensure also that the brake fluid-level is full and that the system is not leaking.
Poor pedal response can also be as a result of improperly adjusted or installed brake parts, e.g. misaligned pads or calipers. The installation should also be re-checked and everything kept in the right place and torqued accordingly.

It would be the rubber pad that sits on your brake pedal. Unless they were referring to brake pads, which are the pads which enables your vehicle to stop by pressing the brake pedal.
Brake pads are the pads that sit on top of the rotor that when the brake pedal is pressed the brake pads squeeze the rotor and the car stops. Signs that they need replacing are if you hear squeaking when pressing the brake pedal.
you could have a few problems such as air in lines or a bad booster i would bleed the brakes and see if that helps if not check your booster and vacume
You need to inspect the brake pads/shoes and have the brake system bled. The soft pedal is air in the brake system. The fact that you are hearing air makes me suspect you may have a defective brake booster. Have the power brake booster vacuum diaphragm inspected.
Did u clean the surface of the brake pads before you replaced them. If you touched the pads or they have grease on the pads they wont work good. How does your parking brake work?
a low brake pedal indicates worn brake pads and shoes.have then replaced
no you have a brake fluid leak somewere
You need to bleed the brakes. Loosen the bleeder valve on one of the calipers and have someone press and hold the brake pedal. Tighten the valve and release the brake pedal. (If you let off of the pedal with the valve loose, air will be drawn into the system and make the problem worse.)
brek pads
I have 1991 Z71 extend cab short bed- the brake pedal is soft- i have tried or bought the following: booster, master cyclinder, capliers, drums, wheel cyclinders and kits, drums, pads and shoes,
my lights are not working when i changed the pads on my peutgeo partner van
put new disks and pads in my 2005 V beetle bleed them and brake pedal still not to the top go down about 2inchs how do i get a nice hard pedal
