i have some major isues with this IROCZ but the brakes are getting scarry.
it will stop just fine from any speed but when i sit at a stop for any time the pedal will slowly start to drop to the floor and the car will start to creep forward, once it hits the floorboard the car will stay still. i am thinking that the power booster might be bad but i am not sure. i do not think that air in the lines would create this kind of action, what else would cause the brakes to do this?

i am starting to get worried about it not stopping!

if i understand you right, you said that the brakes work mostly normal while coming to a stop, but once stoped and holding the brake the pedal slowly drop to the floor then,
its your master cylinder

the fluid is leaking past the seals under the constant pressure of holding you at a stop
just replace it

Its your master cylinder like 400 said,also check for EXternal leaks at the calipers,hoses and wheel cylinders,But if your master cylinder fluid level is full then you have an INternal leak on the master cylinder.
