Default Brakes not good

The brakes on my 95 wrx ra have always been quite poor and have a very spongy feel to them. Ive replaced front and rear pads but that made no real difference. If i was to change the brake fluid would that firm up the pedal a bit more? thanks.

To be honest,the RA's 3 pots are pretty rubbish.Get yourself a set of 4 pots,makes all the difference! This is what i did,they also look nice when you give them a fresh coat of paint first!
