is there any way to run all 4 breaks together? so when you break all 4 wheels stop?

thats the way they are supposed to work !
If you brake and one or more wheels still move you probably have a clogged brake line or air on the caliper!

Or are you talking about the parking brake? In that case only the rear should stop

what im asking is do all 4 wheels brake on a 95 gsx from factory? or do only the front?

is the rear strickly e brake?

Oh man...

sorry noob when it comes to brake systems

Whattt!? This is the second time in the last week or so I've heard someone say this . Do any cars only use the front brakes? NO!! Most have a 60-40 split but all would use the rear and front. And yes all 4 should work at same time or even better (abs). On our cars the rear has disc and the e-brake has its own shoes inside the rotor, like a mini drum setup. Totally seperate from the normal brake system.

This is high tech braking... (Pic).

no

well i guess i can say "the more you know" maybe its just because on some cars like GM its a 70/30 split or so so rear brakes rarely wear. sorry for the confusion (previous GM owner)

Well u can run your own lines and put in a prop valve if you want more pressure on the rear.. But there is no need to do all that with the stock system

When you push the brake pedal the master cylinder pushes fluid to all 4 brakes (not breaks ) and that pushes the piston which the brake pad is on (in the brake caliper) and that pushes against the disk which slows down from the friction but the hydraulic lines do go to the front and the rear brakes yes so all 4 work when you push the pedal and only the rear when you pull on the parking/handbrake.

In most car the stopping power is 70/30 because of how cars work I do believe DSM work the same if not a little more atleast on the awd the have dual pistons in the front. The brakes all apply but due to physics it becomes 70/30

This 70/30 or 60/40 split we speak of is stopping power distribution not brake bias.

1. All 4 brakes are used to stop the car.
2. You never want the rear wheels (tires) to lock up before the fronts because it is an unstable system (spin-out).
3. Brake calipers/rotors are sized front/rear based on your car's weight distribution and cg height (weight transfer during braking).
4. Since a high-G deceleration removes-load from the rear tires, less traction (braking) can be achieved from the rear tires (hence - smaller pistons in rear calipers).
5. proportioning valves also cut brake pressure to rears.

FMVSS-standards require a mechanical braking system in case the main brake system fails.... giving you a parking brake.

Rear engine vehicles Porsche 911 benefit in braking. The car is closer to a 50/50 weight distribution during a braking event... allowing better usage of all four tire contact patches.
