This one is fairly urgent, seeing as how a turn in the weather has turned everyday driving into ice-racing up here. Basically, whenever I apply the brakes in my car, I have to depress the pedal about 50% of the distance to the floor before I get any brake response. After that my brakes kick in OK (but unfortunately I have to do my rear brakes soon, which should be OODLES of fun in -20 celsius in an unheated garage). I'm wondering what could cause the sponginess of my pedal. The only reason this matters to me is i want quicker braking times (almost hit a stray cat). Is it anything simple as i hope, like tightening a few bolts or something?
