Is the brake balance warning coming on?  Does it work i.e. have you tested it?  Have you checked the fluid levels front and rear in the brake master?  If the fronts aren't working at all and only the rears then there is the same fault both side which can only be the master, the balance switch, or the pipe between them.  If the balance warning test switch works but it isn't coming on then it could be the shuttle is seized, or the switch is faulty.  But that would be in addition to whatever is causing the reduced pressure to the front circuit.

Highly unlikely to be the calipers themselves seized at exactly the same time, and if only one is seized then it would pull strongly to the other side.

Raising each corner in turn and seeing if the brake pedal (sic) stops the wheel is a sort of test, but it's not going to take much effort from the caliper to stop you spinning it by hand compared to the pressure that is exerted when slowing the car.  They could still be working, but at greatly reduced effectiveness i.e. from gross contamination of pads/discs, but again that would have to be on both sides.

  Having trouble stopping.  It does stop, but not like it should.  Like maybe only the rears are working.  Is there any way to test that?
