I'm not familiar with your model, but I can share that some cars have antilock brakes that slow cars very gradually compared to other models. Before you say your brakes are not as aggressive as they should be, drive another one of the same year and model to see how it acts.
For example, I have a 1993 Dodge Dynasty with anti-lock brakes. They are so effective, you can almost tear the seatbelts off the hinges. A Chevy Caprice Classic uses the same Bendix system, but with one less valve. It ties the two rear brakes together when either one starts to skid. On those cars, often used as police cars, you go and go and go as the car slows down gradually, and they find you in the next county. The brakes are extremely slow to respond, however, the purpose of anti-lock brakes is not to provide faster stopping. It is to maintain steering control. Skidding tires can't be steered. How fast the brakes slow the vehicle is a design issue.
As far as front to rear balance, that too, as I mentioned, is designed in and we don't want to play with that.
One thing you might consider is removing the fuses for the ABS system to disable that option, then see how the brakes work. If it's fairly easy to lock them up and skid the tires, the ABS system is likely working properly.
