ok they worked really good untill the car sat for like 3 months now there feel like i have to press real hard to stop ! All the brake lines are new and the brake boster doesnt leak. what do u think it could be? I was thinking it could be the master cylinder.

Brake booster, If the pedal is really stiff.

Check to make sure the Check valve is working properly and no vac leaks from it

are you using the stock master cylinder or a z32 one?

if you get a larger master cylinder you'll want the z32 booster as well.

are you still able to stop normally? if you can still stop alright but it's just too stiff for your liking you probably just need to upgrade to a dual diaphragm master cylinder from a z32.

all the cars with the 1" or 17/16 master cylinder came with dual diaphragm boosters.

bleed the brakes again before doing any changes.

shouldn't matter what brake booster or bmc OP has in this case yet since it was "working great" before it sat for 3-5 months. Things may end up needing to be replaced, but let's go w/ the easy fixes first.
