I am no mechanic but I agree this sounds like your hoses. As old as they might be, you should probably replace the set. I am pretty sure I got my braided steel flex brake hoses from Planetman. I flat out love them.. Drove around VIR 15 laps...my brakes were fantastic. It really will firm up your pedal.
You probably could get cheaper rubber hoses from someone else if you do not need Hi-performance braking.

There were some forum posts a while back, including discussions about the connection fittings. The hoses have to be professionally made.
