all perfectly free, but werent that strong before storing (20k miles total) - upgrading seems a hassle and i understand, unnecessary for us older, more gentle drivers - so just what is needed?

Servo passes test but brakes are marginal at best requiring hi effort and impossible to lock (the fronts!)

Fit service kits and new pads or just semi pop cylinders (using half disc thickness spacer between, with calipers swung off disc) and lube pistons with approp lube (copper grease or special caliper lube?)or what?

Would prefer more front bias if easy too (rears can lock up before fronts at best of times - when newer)
