I agree that it is a long shot, but thin pads combined with thin beyond spec rotors, could cause the caliper piston to extend beyond normal travel, and who knows? just throwing out ideas to check. I like the idea of the rear resivoir checking too.
more than likely, there is a booster problem though. even glazed pads at low speeds should not result in hard pedal.
