sounds like the brake booster head,big round heavy metal canister behind the master cylinder. to test this, engine off, quiet, pull the check valve out of the front of the booster, you should hear the vacuum release, now carefully remove the plastic check valve from the hose (unless you have a cap that will seal the valve) seal the hose with a bolt, carefull hard brake pedal, test drive. if better you need a booster, the valve should hold vacuum too. if you get a salvage piece, they normally cut the hose, it should be holding vacuum.
i have a205 sunfire when i apply the breaks there hard is that normal
a have a 205 sunfire when its damp the back brakes squeaks
