heres the story. i had my car before and it was perfect. it was in excellent condition. then i crashed it. i fixed it and everything. then i had a braking problem. it would brake, dont get me wrong but it would take double the amount of foot power to make a complete stop. i changed the brake pads but then it still has the problem. and i know for a fact there is something wrong because the brakes on my car use to be really good. its just not as good as how it used to be. now its a piece of sh*t. anybody have an idea? brake lines worn out? need more/clean brake fluid? HELP!

Try bleeding your brakes first, see if that alleviates the problem..

Where was the car damaged when you wrecked it?

sounds almost as if the master cylinder is going out or one(or more) of the calipers/drum cylinders have gone bad.

If u have power brakes, check for any vaccum leaks leading to the master cylinder, loss of vaccum to the master cylinder causes less boost pressure & u have to work harder.

As said above BLEED THE SYSTEM should be the first step. CHECK FOR ROTTEN OR DAMAGED BRAKE LINES, bad break lines expand when u r pushing on the pedal causing loss of braking power.
