Brake issue

I have only been having this issue since about october and been trying a few things every now and then to get to go away.

Intermittently i have a very high and hard brake pedal. May not sound like a problem but. . . my pads are also relatively low and should not be that high or hard. I also every now and then will have the ASR, and ABS light come on forget exactly which lights all stability control related lights.
Does not matter if it is on the highway or street driving, nor hot or cold.

Also while the car is on the lift the front tires would harldy budge.

What i tried to do so far.

-I regreased the caliper pins, and the bracket itself.
-Pressed the caliper piston back to make sure it was not frozen. (did this a few times to make sure it wasn't that)
-I bought some stainless steel brake lines since i was afraid maybe some of the teflon lining in the brake hose was creating a flap and not alowing the fluid to retract holding pressure.

I have been thinking a possbile intermittenltly faulty abs block holding pressure on the front brakes or a failing master cylinder.

I have only seen a booster go bad once due to oil ruining the diaphram by traveling up the vacuum line on a BMW

Anybody ever have or see anything like this.
