70% on the front brakes 30% stopping with the rear.

when i took my rears apart, I had no problems with the emergency brake stuff. just try not to mess with it and it all should go back together pretty easy.

speaking of brakes, i need some new front rotors and pads. my rotors are chipping apart.

Stainless Steel brake lines in the rears but not the front might move some of your braking power to the rear?

I don't know if it's a good idea though...

SS brake lines are just for looks and more reliable/resiliant....thats it.....
