The front brakes on any vehicle do most of the stopping. When you apply the brakes the weight shifts to the front of the vehicle. For this reason the front brakes are needed more than the rear. Try stopping a vehicle with just the hand brake which applies only the rear brakes.

you will need to bleed your brakes .allways start with the brake the farthest from the master cylinder , you can either gravity bleed them by yourself by loosening the bleeder valve on each wheel for 30 minutes each or have someone pump the brakes for you . have them pump the brakes until they get a partial pedal and hold until you release the wheel bleeder .repeat process 3 or 4 times until fluid is free of air and repeat process on each wheel .if this doesnt work you might need to replace youe master cylinder
