Stupid question?, maybe but I don't know 
Do the rears come in when the brake pedal is pressed to any degree?, and if so, what % is sent to the rear.
Cheers

My understanding <<<< that's a disclaimer.... is that they both get the same pressure down the line from the master, however the difference in actual braking performance is due to the smaller disk and relative piston sizes in the rear caliper...

they do work with the pedal and most cars have a brake bias valve which means that when the car is unloaded there is hardly any pressure going to the rears. but when you load it up with cases or things or lard ***** in the back the valve allows more pressure to go to the rears this stops a heavy back end overtaking you when you brake hard and sending you in to the ditch.
