Default Brake Question...

At high speeds or when i brake hard, they're fine and right up there. But, if i'm sitting at a light or on an incline or decline, the pedel goes down half way then stopes again. Is this a sign of my MC going or air in the linesor something i haven't ever heard of. i have no idea.

It could be signs of the MC going bad, could be time for a fluid change and bleed too.

Hard to say without doing a bleed first.

Probably MC. You might want to check the power booster housing, directly under where the MC bolts onto it, for any indication of brake fluid leaking. I replaced my MC this weekend after developing a spongy pedal and finding brake fluid seeping in that area.
